I think the finals were moved to Saturday to get the games on TV. Very few midmajor conferences play their championship games on Sunday.Well, I remember way back in the day. And I do mean waaayyyyy back in the day, like back when I was in school. The SWAC would have the quarterfinals on Friday, the semifinals were on Saturday and the finals were held Sunday.
Maybe the conference could consider that option. Not sure how that would impact the final game being on TV (ESPN), just a thought.
