What is the last possible day......

[Jewbull]

That we could know if TV picked up the UCF game & the kickoff time?

I think Monday, Oct. 8 but I could be wrong.

I wish we could get start times on these home games.

It wouldn't surprise me if this game got picked up as one of the noon ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU games

[USFJDawg21]

Won't know until at least 6 days before the game

The days of set times are over guys, we're no longer in 1-AA.  I know most of us have gotten used to 7pm kickoff times but you have to understand thats the way big time college football is.  When you win, networks like ESPN would want to put you on.

I think C-USA has some kind of deal with CSTV also, so they may get a crack at it if ESPN doesn't jump on it.

I hope it doesn't become a noon game for them, I am assuming we would get the final say on that one.

It can't be on CSTV because the Big East has a deal with ESPN/ABC/ESPN+.

Ah....Those were the days.  7 PM start times, tailgating for hours on end only to start the game after the day has cooled to night.    Guess the tradeoff is worth #6.

There was at least one USF game on CSTV last year.  I doubt the ESPN deal applies to all inter-conference games.

I think the noon slots on ESPN and ESPN2 are for one Big East game and one ACC game. When the Big Ten formed their own network, they took the two 12:30pm games ESPN and ESPN2 had been showing every week with them. I think ESPN pulled the weekly noon BE games in from regional broadcast and put them on the big network. So the games we would have been playing on ESPN Plus are now on ESPN.
