Try scheduling them? LSU plays the three cupcake games almost exclusively at night.

The networks decide the kickoff time, not the school

Athens is gorgeous in the daylight, but is hideous by moonlight.
I mean, I'm guessing. I legit have no idea.

1 - Eastern time zone
2- Number of 3:30 games CBS contract
3- Old reasons were money folks hated them but now all tv contracts and matchups.
Used to be SEC had sway here.

Just for the record, from 1931-2019, LSU played 336 home night games vs 73 day games. Of those, 137 home SEC night games vs 57 home SEC Day games.
(1931 was our first home night games.)
I researched this in 2019 but haven't updated it since.

So you have 5 more CBS games than LSU but 42 fewer night games. You just answered the question
Looks like you need to direct this inquiry to your AD office and ask why y’all are playing Kent State and Samford in the sun
