Last attempt at early selections

The remainder of early season selections are going to come out over the next few weeks.  I decided to do them on a conference basis.  I believe I didn't choose a network for the same timeslot twice.  I'm sure there's going to be some MLB conflicts in time slots, so FSN/CSN will have to work through those.

Take a look.  Feel free to comment.

Spring meetings are often when these announcements appear as TV partners are often in attendance to give details about coverage for the upcoming season.  The Pac-12 has already held theirs so expect FOX Sports and Versus announcements right around June 1st.  The rest:

Big 12: Not sure
Big East: May 23-25
Big Ten: May 17-18 (could be when you see Big Ten Network night game announcement)
SEC: Early June, with ESPNU and regional selections possibly as late as football media days in July

  1. Thanks for posting these....very interesting. Question - what was the rationale behind making EMU - PSU a night game? Why not Iowa or Illinois? Thanks...

  2. Well, I can tell you that I whiffed and need to put Illinois in a night game. My gut feeling for Illinois would be the 9/10 game vs. South Dakota St.

    As for EMU-PSU, no real reason. Kinda felt that Iowa would be better served with the conference game night game in October.

  3. Did you leave off the remaining Pac 12 games on 9/3?

    Seems like FX might want to announce its presence with an opening weekend doubleheader of UCLA/UH and and SJSU/Stanford to showcase 2 of the best QBs in the country.

  4. I did leave off any cable windows for 9/3 for the conference, thinking they may end up doing regional games.

    I have UCLA @ Houston as the F/X game on 9/3. The way I read the F/X press release, it sounds like one game per week.
