What's With the Wacky Start Times for Weekday Games?

The rest of the season has two 6:00 PM starts, UCLA and Washington. If you live in Highlands Ranch or work in the Tech Center, can you even get to Boulder for a 6 PM start without leaving work way early?
WSU is a 7:30 start. I don't know what the heck is up with that.
ASU starts at 9:00 PM!

You'd think the highest interest games in terms of TV would be UCLA and UW, so why start them at 5 PM in LA and Seattle?

I looked at Wisconsin to compare, and every weekday game starts at 8 PM local time.

Did the PAC 12 hire the scheduler who does the World Series games?
 
6 pm start time is perfect for me, keep them coming.

Honestly, I wish we had more 6/7 pm starts, maybe even 5 pm. Reason being, a 4 pm PT game will get air time in California, people may not tune in for it, but it will be on tv during happy hours where you may be able to catch a few new fans. And on the east coast, you are in prime time, getting the exposure. Playing these 8 pm or later games, you are not going to get any air time on the east coast, no one wants to stay up past midnight to watch a game.


We complain about east coast bias, well this is probably one of the main reasons.

Just imagine living in the Eastern time zone. Be thankful you don't have 11pm start times.
