Kickoff will be at what time?

An observer of college football claims, "The only similarities between DI and DIII football are the ball, the game rules, the field dimensions and the equipment. The way the games are played and the athletes playing them are very different." 

One thing that is not similar is knowing, months in advance, the time of the game kickoff

What time does a DI football game kickoff? Who knows? The ticket and schedule say it's TBA/to be announced. 

About DI, "The extent of ESPN’s influence over college football is literally displayed on the face of your ticket to next week’s game. Tickets to most games are printed with the date and the opponent’s name, but something is missing: the kickoff time. That is because ESPN, under its contracts with conferences, has the right to set kickoff times and wait until 12 days before game day, or in some cases only six, to inform universities." -- 'College Football’s Most Dominant Player? It’s ESPN,' New York Times, 8/25/2013
