stevestojan Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 1 minute ago, YoloinOhio said: Really? However, the law is more famous for helping to set the NFL broadcasting schedule. To protect fans of college and high school football, Congress also approved language that barred professional games on Fridays and Saturdays during the schools' seasons.

Shaw66 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 1 minute ago, YoloinOhio said: Really? The NFL has some kind of deal with the NCAA not to play on Saturday, at least until the NCAA regular season games. I don't know if they have a written contract to that effect - maybe it's just a gentleman's agreement. It's also why there isn't Friday night NFL football - the league does it to protect high school football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 1 minute ago, YoloinOhio said: Really? Yes, as mentioned by @Forward Progress The sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 effectively outlaws NFL games on Friday or Saturday. " It also, in effect, protects high school football and college football game attendance by blacking out pro football games locally on Friday evenings and Saturdays during those sports' regular seasons; these measures effectively outlawed the broadcasting (and, in practice, the playing) of NFL games on those days, since virtually all of the country is within 75 miles (120 km) of at least one high school game on every Friday night in September and October." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_Broadcasting_Act_of_1961 https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title15/chapter32&edition=prelim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL COULD, and would likely be granted, seek a waiver/permission to work around that rule due to COVID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 At this point it's really silly they haven't announced postponement of the game Sunday. The NFL must be waiting to announce it until they have decided upon the penalties, but in fairness to both teams (particularly the Bills) they need to let them know so preparations can shift to KC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always ways around things like this. NFL very well may have to pay out to the NCAA for the rights to air one game. But that would be money well spent if it means keeping the schedule in tact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
