Now the best argument for changing the TC dates would be if the tracks got together and created a TC of sorts for the other divisions/undercard races as well which with a little creativity and common sense could be continued throughout the rest of the summer and fall leading up to the Breeders Cup.

Just changing the TC and randomly hoping it works is a far more likely scenario though
Don't understand why they don't have a Triple Crown for Fillies running the Friday before the Triple Crown Race. I'm sure that NBCSN can market that...
