I realize this article is from '09 but I believe it has carried forward to the most recent negotiation a couple years ago.<br /><br />https://www.army.mil/article/24816<br /><br />The MAC time could be June, but figure if they set the Army start time, that's a guideline for the NIU game.Matt Sarzyniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967516926073948559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-83345412538887688022017-03-06T22:32:24.578-05:002017-03-06T22:32:24.578-05:00Thanks for your analysis.

But when do you think they'll make an announcement on that?<br />Mark Falzonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138914252263884159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-58182791985009626252017-03-04T17:54:46.227-05:002017-03-04T17:54:46.227-05:00I think both Army & NIU games stay on that dat...I think both Army & NIU games stay on that date. Army has done the Friday home opener recently to allow the cadets a longer weekend. If the NIU game was going back to 9/2, I would have thought that it would have occurred with the schedule release.<br /><br />CBSSN has options within C-USA, including Houston-UTSA, Kentucky-USM, Navy-FAU and Vandy-MT, along with FIU-UCF. ULM-Memphis on Thursday could be an option to start the season. I don't understand how ESPN goes about sending a Boise St. home game to CBSSN, but the Troy game would be one to send over if CBSSN has other plans re: the MW for another week.Matt Sarzyniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967516926073948559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-2959641346195467062017-03-04T17:43:18.603-05:002017-03-04T17:43:18.603-05:00Do you think both the BC and Army games stay on 9/...Do you think both the BC and Army games stay on 9/1? Or do you think one moves back to 8/31?<br /><br />CBS Sports Network just seems to have slim pickings on 8/31. Maybe UL-Monroe at Memphis? Or something other than college football?<br />Mark Falzonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138914252263884159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-25916565766892235352017-03-02T21:37:11.265-05:002017-03-02T21:37:11.265-05:00Last few years the NFL scheduled 2 of the 6 teams ...Last few years the NFL scheduled 2 of the 6 teams that played on Thanksgiving to play the following Thursday, allowing them to play on regular rest. The Lions played back to back Thursdays at home in 2015, with the second of those games a loss to Green Bay on an Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary. potts316https://www.blogger.com/profile/09091315918187661158noreply@blogger.com
