Misc. items after 6/7/12 CFB kick time announcements

First, no Big 12, no SEC, no Pac-12.  Felt rather deceived (no disrespect to Big East & Big Ten), but no one said exactly what was being announced.  At least they didn't confirm start times that had been out there previously.

On the flip side, it was nice to see the extra announcement from NBC, particularly on their CAA and Ivy League schedules.

Since a few of you asked, here's the remaining possible slots on ABC, CBS & ESPN for the 1st three weeks that those three conferences will likely end up filling.  As we know, there are no FOX selections made yet.

All times ET

9/1
3:30pm ABC (regional Big 12 ??)
3:30pm ESPN
7pm ESPNU (probably SEC)
Late evening ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU (probably Pac-12 if used)

9/8
12pm ESPN
3:30pm ABC (regional Big 12 ??)
3:30pm ESPN
7pm ESPNU (probably SEC)
Primetime ESPN & ESPN2
Late evening ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU (probably Pac-12 if used)

9/15
3:30pm CBS (SEC)
3:30pm ABC (regional Big 12 ??)
7pm ESPNU (probably SEC)
Primetime ESPN & ESPN2
Late evening ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU (probably Pac-12 if used)

FOX may be waiting to shore up the Big 12 contract before they announce any games, though they and ESPN certainly could release Pac-12 information once selections are made.

How many Big 12 games will FX televise?

Matt Sarzyniak said...

Unknown. Last year FOX signed a deal to televise 40 games across FX, FSN and FOX College Sports.

Great post, as always. Thank you so much for this site.

Have you given any thought to publishing the broadcast windows for the season? I know you have limited time, but I think it would be a great addition to your site.

Actually there is a link on each conference & weekly page. At the top there's a link called "Flex Windows Spreadsheet". It is an Excel spreadsheet that shows the open & filled slots by network.

Looks great--thanks. I take it that any empty box that doesn't have N/A or a game is a potential open broadcast window?

Matt Sarzyniak said...

Yep. N/A could mean no broadcast because its not a game window or something else is being broadcast at that time (NASCAR, MLS, etc.) Empty means there is a possibility of a game.
