I believe that the prohibition of NFL games on Fridays and Saturdays during high school and college football season is Federal law.

Should college football be shown on Sunday?

Yes, I believe that is right, and if college football started playing on Sundays, the NFL could view that as betraying the agreements they have, and would move to have that law changed so that they aren't prohibited from playing on Saturday. I don't think college football would want to go down that road.I believe that the prohibition of NFL games on Fridays and Saturdays during high school and college football season is Federal law.
It's legal for the NFL to play on Fridays and Saturdays. What isn't legal, according to this link, is stations airing NFL games against local college and high school games those days. Note the limitation only lasts to early December, so the NFL is in the clear airing late December Saturday games.
But there's nothing but common sense (and BYU's uncompromising stance on Sunday play) preventing college football from taking on the NFL on Sunday and Monday, right?It's legal for the NFL to play on Fridays and Saturdays.
