That's when this year's NCAA Division I National Championship Game began. Why? I can think of three reasons:
- CBS didn't want to shut out the west coast fans. This way the game starts at 6:21 PDT, or 6:21 MST for Arizona. Of course, the last team from the west that went to the final for was Arizona -- in 2001.
- CBS really wanted you to watch the Peter Jennings special on ABC about Jesus and Paul.
- CBS wanted to plug two lousy sitcoms in the 8-9 hour.
("I'm going to take door number 3, Monty.")
Let's see. What would happen if Major League Baseball started a World Series Game at 9:21? Media explosion. "You're keeping the game away from the young fans.!!!" But the NCAA gets a free ride on this. Why?
