BE and TV games

[Cubanbull]

Some of the fans on this board that complained about our games being changed for tv should read the following very carefully. This is from a Syracuse fan on a BE board

"Contractually the Disney Empire notifies the BE 12 days prior for TV games, they have a clause that they can notify the BE 5 days prior 3 times a season for a TV game. The pecking order in priority ABC/ESPN/ESPN2/ERT(BE GOTW). Be prepared to arrive at the games on Saturday anytime from noon to 7pm due to TV. If you are ever flying into town for a game you have to give yourself plenty of flexibility due to this.

Generally, the BE releases their clearance list of TV stations for the BE GOTW on Tuesday prior to the game though."

Nothing to see here. The same thing happens to every conference that has televised games on Saturday. SEC kickoff times get changed constantly.

Good to know about if you are traveling to an away game, but not at all indicative of second-tier status. If anything it's a step in the right direction. Better a time change, like SEC games do, than a weekday change, like C-USA games do.
