Duke kick off @ noon

I, for one, am not surprised, but that doesn't make their decision any more sane.
It's perfectly sane. This isn't going to be a big ratings game. Two ööööty teams with comparitaviely small fan bases.

I'm surprised it's going to be broadcast at all.
 
Because it is Homecoming, and we have a lot of Homecoming-related activities that go on before the game.
The homecoming game has been at noon pretty often the past couple years.

IIRC for last 5 years:

2015 vs FSU was a night
2014 vs UVA was afternoon (3ish)
2013 vs Pitt was a night
2012 vs BYU was afternoon (3ish)
2011 vs Clemson was night

It wouldn't be as big of a deal if they hadn't already shafted us with noon kicks for last 2 home games. In a vacuum, their decision makes sense, I guess. Also, how is our game less of a draw ratings-wise than either Army-Wake or BC-NCSt or less ööööty/small fanbases?
