Title of this thread is correct again. NCAA pushed back KO til 1:00 pm CST to accommodate CWU.

How do you know it was to accommodate CWU?

CWU practices at 9AM Pacific Time for most of the week.

Doesn't NW start games at 1PM local time?

In 2016, NW playoff home games started at 1PM, 1PM, 2 30PM. The same in 2015.

Most home games start at 1:30, HC typically at 2

Because the Athletic Director, in an email to season ticket holders, said, and I quote, "We originally scheduled the kickoff for noon, but with CWU's travel the NCAA felt it best to play at 1:00 pm."

I figured it was NW gamesmanship.

When was the last time NW had a home game that started at noon?

An hour makes little difference. If the NCAA really cared,, they wouldn't send a team two time zones away in the first round.

CWU was going to fly in any case. They could have had one flight. Instead, they have two.

The noon start thing is weird as well. I think it was just a screw up and a scramble to cover it.

Playoffs games usually start at noon local time to make best use of the natural light.

Probably 2004.
