Actually, air time varies, the parade doesn't play on at the exact same time on every network. You start on one network watch a portion of the parade, advertisements come on, the viewer gets bored, and you flip channels as the second network is showing the same portion of the parade again. (Just an example.)

Also, the Macy's day parade is comparable to Penn State's Homecoming Parade. With that said - a 4+ hour parade route might be a little lengthy for the National Champions. Maybe this will be opened up to all award winners as a special invitation only even by FIRST?

All in all.. excellent idea!
