At times they've targeted high school games on Friday nights on ESPNU.Matt Sarzyniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967516926073948559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-90394808568065992632013-04-20T12:18:57.595-04:002013-04-20T12:18:57.595-04:00Thanks Chris.

Not sure if they would go with an alternate feed or not. Plus the goal of the Big East deal with ESPN is to distribute 90% of the games nationally and that the Big East Network is going away, so I think it becomes ESPN3 exclusive.Matt Sarzyniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967516926073948559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-91821264316291158852013-04-01T16:36:03.704-04:002013-04-01T16:36:03.704-04:00After looking at the Week 1 schedule, I see Louisi...After looking at the Week 1 schedule, I see Louisiana- Monroe at Oklahoma being the Sooner Sports Institutional game, which would likely put it on Fox Sports Southwest and Fox College Sports. Any of Baylor's 3 non-conference home games could easily fit their requirement for 1 FSSW/ FCS game, but only this one really fits Oklahoma's. <br /><br />If I were to guess the Big 12 conference's institutional controlled games, I'd go with this. I'd place the Georgia State/ West Virginia game as the institutional controlled game so you don't get a surplus in Week 1. Likewise I'd put Baylor's institutional controlled game on Sept 28 when you know it won't clash with other FSSW/ FCS broadcasts. <br /><br />Louisiana- Monroe at Oklahoma for Sooner Sports/ FSSW/ FCS (Aug 31)<br />New Mexico State at Texas- LHN (Aug 31)<br />Northern Iowa at Iowa State- Cyclone TV (Aug 31) <br />South Dakota at Kansas- Jayhawk TV (Sept 7) <br />Southeastern Louisiana at TCU- FSSW/ FCS (Sept 7) <br />Stephen F. Austin at Texas Tech- FSSW/ FCS (Sept 7) <br />UMass at Kansas State- FS Midwest/ FCS (Sept 14)<br />Lamar at Oklahoma State- Cowboy Sports Properties/ FCS (Sept 14) <br />William & Mary at West Virginia- Mountaineer Sports/ ROOT Pittsburgh/ ESPN3 (Sept 14)<br />Louisiana Monroe at Baylor- FSSW/ FCS (Sept 21) <br /><br />This would mean that Wofford at Baylor would be on FSN, FS1, or possibly even FCS, but with Baylor's crappy non-conference schedule, and with them wanting to place fairly decent games on FS1 & FSN, it seems to me they'd want to keep the Tulsa/ Oklahoma game more than the week 1 game. I don't think they want to do more than 3 institutional controlled games in a single week either with ABC/ ESPN/ ESPN2, FSN, FS 1, and FOX all broadcasting the games. bigddan11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06659463049411411918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-9099990537243833182013-04-01T16:16:42.455-04:002013-04-01T16:16:42.455-04:00I know it'll be called a different name, but I...I know it'll be called a different name, but I fully expect that one of htose two what new name Big East Conference games would be on ESPN+/ what was Big East Network. I think they've said they'll have loca broadcasters do those, and Southern/ Houston would be one Comcast houston would target, depending on the time of day it is at. bigddan11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06659463049411411918noreply@blogger.com
