Like you said, maybe they'll chop off a late FSN window if/when they run out of games... ESPN's slate of 23 looks solid to me, too...<br /><br />It's a fun exercise...Sergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990881810412942999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-24342961479787999872017-07-26T00:10:19.322-04:002017-07-26T00:10:19.322-04:00I'm confused on your point on the member retai...I'm confused on your point on the member retained games. If they "filter through", you have to count the TV window the game is played in too, so both counts incrememnt by one. When I'm excluding Tulsa-Oklahoma St., I'm also excluding the window its being played in. <br /><br />If I include Tulsa-Oklahoma St. lowering the member retained count to nine, the TV window count then goes to 81 total, leaving 34 Big 12 games (81 - 25 - 22). From there, 64 Big 12 regular season games - 9 member retained - 23 ESPN = 32 available to FOX Sports. Still two over on the window count or two too many on the ESPN side, maybe.<br /><br />I don't disagree with your count on the FOX, FS1 and FS2 totals on the surface, whether Tulsa-Oklahoma St. is included or not. The seven "national package" FSN windows I'm counting are Charlotte-Kansas St., CMU-KU, ASU-Texas Tech and four TBA windows. EWU-Texas Tech, UTSA-Baylor, Jackson St.-TCU and Tulane-Oklahoma are member retained based on the Big 12 noting that they left off member retained games from their original release with the exception of Tulsa-Oklahoma St. <br /><br />http://www.big12sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=106181&SPID=13139&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211612996&DB_OEM_ID=10410<br /><br />Let's let the season play out.

You keep discounting them from the total, but IIRC at least five schools are FOX-affiliated (off the top of my head: Baylor, OK, OK State, TCU and TX Tech)... maybe a couple of those games will filter through FOX's schedule...<br /><br />Or not.<br /><br />BTW, in my simulations, I have 27 Big XII games on FOX/FS1/FS2 (including OK State-Tulsa), plus 25 B1G and 22 Pac-12 contests to fill all 74 announced windows...

I guess that means ABC/ESPN passed on it since this year they get the choice of which weeks they want to pick first. Seems surprising. But since the Red River Showdown has not been listed on FOX, I'm guessing that match-up probably goes back to ABC.arc727https://www.blogger.com/profile/16671043521732984989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-42877243418545685102017-06-03T08:33:25.844-04:002017-06-03T08:33:25.844-04:00For the most part, those three conferences rarely ...For the most part, those three conferences rarely schedule non-conference home games after September, with Notre Dame or BYU as the exceptions.<br /><br />I'm missing where there's a FCS game on an over-the-air network, unless you're referring to Furman-NC State being picked up for Raycom syndication, which happens occasionally by them. <br /><br />ECU-WVU being on FS2 is due to the Walker Cup schedule & its the only one.
