Regardless of when the debate schedule was being set up, it was utterly stoopid to do it without regard to the NFL schedule. Since the NFL schedule is not set until early in the current calendar year (after the SuperBowl), intelligent debate planners would decide to set the debate schedule after they learn the NFL schedule.

Ofc they may consider it demeaning to the lofty world of politics to work the debate schedule around the NFL schedule, but it would make sense.

Nope, theres always going to be games on Sunday and Monday, and you can say that years in advance. Just figuring out whom plays whom is made after Superbowl.

You don't need to know the NFL schedule to know that there will be prime-time games on Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights during the football season.
