UCLA's out of conference slate is so lackluster this year, the league's major TV providers all took a pass, sending all three of the Bruins' OOC games to the Pac-12 Network: 9/3 - Bowling Green Rose Bowl 11:30 am Pac-12 Network 9/10- Alabama State Rose Bowl 02:00 pm Pac-12 Network 9/17- South Alabama Rose Bowl 11:00 am Pac-12 Network
What's Not to Like? All three are afternoon home games with primetime starts,' Great pre-game picnic opportunities around the golf course greens, Plenty of available parking, an easy drive home, and A 3-0 record for The Chipper when the sun sets.
On the other hand, With the current water rationing in Pasadena, it's likely the grass will not be green; With the cost of gasoline in California, the trip to and from the stadium will be very pricey; The Rose Bowl turnstiles won't produce much green either; and The Pac-12 TV ratings will exceed expectations.

I hate night games and I hate they way the powers that be try to pass them off as something positive--"PAC-12 After Dark!"
Then you wouldn't want to be a Trojan fan in 2022 Bench.
Here's four start times the Pac-12 has assigned to USC games so far---with more to come I'm thinking: 3:00 pm Rice 4:30 pm Stanford 7:30 pm Fresno State 6:30 pm Colorado

3:00 and 4:30 aren't so bad, but the other two--ick.
So far the Ducks have a 5:30 home game (to which I'll go--it's right at the cusp of me not attending), and a 12:30 home game. I think the Duck-GA game is 3:30 Pacific time. But of course that's only the first 3 games.

With reference to UCLA's "lackluster OOC schedule this year, I have been reminded that Michigan terminated its home-and-home series with UCLA in 2022 and 2023 on short notice and paid UCLA $1.5 million to nullify the contract. As a result, the Bruins had to scramble to find a replacement OOC foe.
Comment: Could UCLA's 2021 March Madness 51-49 upset win over Michigan been a factor?
