Why are are BYU womens soccer home games scheduled during football home games?
So my family and I enjoy watching/following both BYU football and BYU womens soccer, especially given BYUtv's increased coverage of BYU womens soccer in recent years. My family and I usually take a flight for weekend trip a year from Seattle to Provo to catch both a women's soccer game at South Field and football game at LES.

Each year in planning our trip to Provo, I am usually looking for a weekend when there is both a home women's soccer game and home football game. This year there are only a couple weekends when there are both home games for women's soccer and football.

September 11 is looking good because BYU football plays Houston at home and BYU soccer plays LSU at home; however, the soccer game starts at 6pm and the football game starts at 7pm, which clearly overlap so we can't attend both. September 20 is a potential option as well but the opponents aren't nearly as exciting and there is still no set time for the football game v. Virginia nor the womens' soccer game against Colorado college, making it almost impossible to plan.

Obviously football is a much bigger event but womens soccer gets a nice 5,000+ person crowd at South Field and I am sure there are many who would attend both given the opportunity.

So, why would the women's soccer game and football game be scheduled both on top of each other? I can't imagine that it is too difficult to move that soccer game up an hour or two or even a day earlier to enable people like me to attend both? What am I missing?
