Ha. Funny you ask that, as I just discovered this morning that it was a network mandate.
'Time Bomb'
Veronica Mars: Annoy, Tiny Blonde One. Annoy Like the Wind.

Great, and very spoilery, article on S3 from the Chicago Tribune: [link]
Someone has awesomely transcribed the TCA upfront interview WITH spoilerfont for spoilerphobes. As Fay would say: bless.
This [link] says that House will be on Tuesdays at 9:00pm while this [link] says 8:00pm. Does anyone know which one is correct?
I think it will start out at 8 but move back to 9 by the time VM starts.
This is just speculation, but I think the opening arc being 9 eps takes into account the need for time to re-introduce the characters and the show's setting while dealing with a new mystery. Once the characters and setting are incorporated into show for new viewers (Who's that bald dude in the leather jacket?), the following arcs won't need time to account for that.
I thought House was going off the air by the time VM comes back because of baseball?
Witness my recap of the VM panel at Comic-Con.
Witness the Comic-Con promo, which is pretty much the best marketing the show could ever get if the public were allowed to see it.
that was awesome.
