Why doesn't USF have any appearances on ESPN or ABC?It seems to me of all of the teams in the conference, we have the least amount of national television coverage.

There were only TWO Big East members that didnt go bowling and we had the worse record. Those that answer your question?Win and we will get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Does anyone know why the only USF games that will be televised are only on ESPN + or ESPNU? Why doesn't USF have any appearances on ESPN or ABC?It seems to me of all of the teams in the conference, we have the least amount of national television coverage.The Big East TV contract allows ESPN and ABC to select games up to 12 days before a game...TV networks like "marquee" matchups... IF (and it's a big IF) USF can win its first 4 games, Pittsburgh or West Virginia could be nationally televised.However, if USF is not able to pull any upsets... we may be waiting until 2006 for a game on ESPN or ABC.

I think ABC in Tampa usually has some of the games even if they aren't shown nationally. Aren't they tied in with ESPN regional? There was a press release about that, I think, several months ago. I know USF has a special relationship with ESPN regional and they televise at least x number of football games each year. In past years I think they had to get us six games on TV, but I'm not sure if that's changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Sports Net, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
