With its win over Marshall on Friday, Western Kentucky University secured its right to host the Conference USA Championship game on Saturday, Dec. 5 at 11 a.m. (CT).

Thursday, December 3

7:00 PM (1A) – Beechwood vs. Pikeville

5:00 PM (6A) – Male vs. Lafayette

8:00 PM (5A) – Bowling Green vs. Pulaski County

 

Sunday, December 6

1:00 PM (2A) – Mayfield vs. Newport Central Catholic

4:00 PM (3A) – Lexington Catholic vs. Belfry

7:00 PM (4A) – South Warren vs. Johnson Central

 

*All Times Central

Nothing is going to change but if you were going to move something you would move 5A to Thursday night.

Why not switch the games to Commonwealth Stadium? Nobody plays there in December! LOL

How much are single-game tickets? I would only be able to potentially attend the Sunday games.

How stupid to have the fans and students out on the roads, way past midnight on a school night. They need to move a couple of games to make it traveler friendly.

No one will pay to see a crap feed from the games as it was terrible the last 2 years

Boy ain't that the truth.

Is all those times central or eastern for the games?

Central time

I think it is ridiculous to have people pay to watch something online, and it is a horrible feed. I grew up in Texas and their state football games are televised on FoxSports (the same station like what the Reds are broadcast on) and they use quality broadcasters. Also to think those game times are bad. I bet the KHSAA staff are spending the night Sunday night because it will end so late.

 

I do have a question for those who know Kentucky really well, is there a more centrally located facility than WKU? Doesn't have to be a big university, but a location which can seat the normal crowd?

Really? It was an excellent broadcast.

Compared to what Memyselfamdi mentioned on what they do in TX? I agree with BP. I had a little trouble last year, and the video quality was not great.

As far as changing locations on short notice the logistics of it are just too tough. I do however see it changing as soon as this contract with Western runs out. My guess is now that CWS has synthetic turf you will see it moved there.

 

There are a couple of places you could have it but honestly you have to look at things like are there enough hotel/motel rooms for teams and fans, places to eat, parking, etc.

 

I do think that Western and Bowling Green have done a good job, but travel is such a complaint for most that I think it will be moved. Plus Lexington has the Sweet 16 so the Gridiron Championships should not present a problem. They already have baseball, and Track and Field to go along with the Sweet 16 so why not add football?

Why are there no Friday night games?
