What genius on the BCS board...

[Rock'n Robin]

decided the National Championship game should be on a Monday night a week after the holidays are over? Do they realize what misery teachers all over the East Coast will be in on Tuesday? Not only will the older kids who are fans be a mess and exhausted, but teachers who get up at 6 AM or earlier will be a disaster! I had a lot of students who were a mess on Friday from the Notre Dame game, and since I teach in NW Ohio I imagine things will be much much worse after Ohio State plays.
I get that it is more exciting if it is on a different day than Jan. 1--but why couldn't it be last Friday night? OSU is our team, and we'll watch the whole thing (unless we go way ahead and then I'll go to bed to save my sanity) but I just wish I could talk to the moron who made this decision.

NO KIDDING!!!

This new setup stinks!!!!

While I am a MSU fan, I will be rooting for OSU and the BIG 10. Have NO diea how I will get up to teach on Tuesday morning. I also have to wonder how the staffing on the afternoon shift in Ohio will be on Monday night.

All the bowl games are on tooooo late! the ratings are way down too, I think that has something to do with it.

Slightly OT but since my school went to the Orange Bowl (UofL) I let my son go see it. Once in a lifetime trip. Coordinated it all with his teachers, talked to the vice-principal, sent in a note ahead of time. He went back to school on Friday and ....unexcused! They are making him take zeros. If they would have at least the BCS bowls on the weekend kids wouldnt have to miss school!

Money.......the decision is driven strictly by money. No NFL playoffs , little or no high school sports to conflict with, Monday was the perfect night.
