Central Time Zone-Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tea Sippers, Texas A&M (9)

Eastern Time Zone-Florida, Georgia, South Carolina (3)

Central & Eastern-Kentucky, Tennessee

Majority of the members are in the Central Time Zone, Yet most of the game starting information is released with Eastern Time Zones. Why is that?

Florida is Central and Eastern

And the answer is because anything with Eastern time included is always based on Eastern time.

After going to the Kentucky game last week, the difference between a 11 and 12 o’clock kickoff is astronomical

I'm not complaining. Just asking a question. Perhaps there is a very good answer out there.

Majority of TV's are in the Eastern Time Zone, so TV advertising on a national level pretty much always uses EST.

Coming from the East coast, I've seen a LOT of times listed as "____ Eastern/_____ Pacific".

The business world runs on EST because of the New York Stock Exchange. If you're a Financial Advisor in Hawaii, you're in the office at 4:00 AM

Television networks were traditionally based in New York (Eastern), so the times of national broadcasts have traditionally included Eastern times.

It is really that simple.

This is such an Aggy nickname for a rival. Y'all are just so ridiculous, like a 1950s caricature of a fanbase.

I don’t know if there is a good answer out there, for you. But in my career to eliminate doubt of what time zone, it is, people usually default to the eastern time zone. That also starts with the first people to watch tv that day, which will be mostly Eastern time zone people.

There’s more to it. But if you can’t see beyond that, then, OK.
