Next Season's LSU-Bama Game will be Primetime

Posted: Updated:

LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva says CBS has agreed to air next year's game between LSU and Alabama at Tiger Stadium in prime time as part of the network's deal to move the start of the Nov. 5 showdown between the top-ranked Tigers and No. 2 Crimson Tide to a night game. CBS' contract with the Southeastern Conference gives it the first pick of games to broadcast Saturday afternoon, and one prime-time game per season. ESPN's contract gives it the rights to night games. But CBS announced Sunday the 1-2 game on Nov. 5 would start at 8 p.m. (EDT) instead of 3:30 p.m. Alleva said Monday in a letter posted on www.lsusports.net that negotiations between the networks led to the change in this year's schedule.
