Yes tv does schedule it. but if the coach and administrative are actively lobbying for an 11am game then I'd say the tv network would be more willing to put that game at 11am before deciding on any other game. 11am is the worst time slot that no one wants to play in. So if a team says "we'll take it" before any scheduling starts then that's one less game the network has to worry about slotting.

Is this you’re first season watching college football. You realize that the program has absolutely no say in game time.
11 o’clock is a product of our shite play and being low on the pecking order when tv chooses what games they want in what slots.

It may be what they want but TV overrides. As for the 11am start time. It makes sense to play at that time especially in the Mississippi heat. Why not use the time and heat to your advantage? This is why west coast teams play against east teams starting at 9pm Pacific. It's an advantage. I'm sorry that it will be hot but we do live in the deep south and for as long as I can remember, it's been hot this time of year. Man-up a little bit.

Yes, TV does determine it, but with one zillion ESPNs on which to stick games these days, perhaps there's some wiggle room in some circumstances. I don't know; I'm only relating what I heard on SportsTalk Mississippi while I was driving home. They were saying that there was an option between an early or night game, and the university opted for the 11 a.m. game rather than an evening game .
Now they may all very well have their heads up their arse, but I can't imagine that game scheduling is super cloak and dagger, especially for one of the main sports talk shows covering the state.
