Scheduling tidbits

• Notre Dame announced its 2010 kickoff times. The 1st four telecasts will air at 3:30pm, the next three at 2:30pm and the Army game at Yankee Stadium will again be NBC's primetime telecast with a 7pm kickoff.
• Marshall's road game at Ohio St. will be moved to Thursday, September 2nd. My expectation is that this will be a Big Ten Network game and this could be a regular staple of the Big Ten schedule. Indiana played their opener on Thursday night last year.
• The SEC's 2nd Thursday night game has been announced as Auburn will host Mississippi St. on September 9th on ESPN. The following games comprise the Thursday night schedule with other games TBA:

  9/2 Southern Miss at South Carolina
  9/2 USC at Hawai'i
  9/9 Auburn at Mississippi St.
  10/21 UCLA at Oregon
  12/2 Arizona St. at Arizona
  

Texas A&M at Texas is expected to occupy this list on 11/25. ACC, Big East and other
possible Big 12 games should be announced over the next six weeks.
