2011 ND vs. USC Game -- Under the Lights?


There's a "twitter" rumor floating around that the 2011 Notre Dame vs. USC game at Notre Dame Stadium -- will be played at night -- in PRIMETIME!  It wouldn't surprise me for two reasons;
  1. Brian Kelly has openly "campaigned" for Home Night Games
  2. And, for NBC - it's a better "pay day" for advertisers -- much bigger audience at night
If I was running the "new NBC" -- remember, COMCAST just bought them -- I would be pushing Notre Dame to "own Saturday night" -- in the months of September and October.  Moving every home game in those two months to an 8 PM EST kick-off.  Do you agree?
