League doesn't call up USF and say "Are you interested in playing on a Thursday night?" If they did, USF wouldn't have done it this past week. Any open week is available for use in maximizing TV deal for Big East and its schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the statistic that is now being erroneously reported regularly. USF is 1-10 all-time in Thursday games. The only time we won a Thursday game was August 29, 2002. USF - 51, Florida Atlantic - 10. We are 0-9 since that time. I believe the other game that is not cited is a loss to Northern Illinois (17 - 20) on 08/30/2001. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they re-sign with ESPN we can look forward to more of the same. It would be interesting to see if NBC, should they get the contract, tries to go head to head with ESPN on weeknights. If so, ESPN might have to throw the ACC teams out there to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN's new contract with the PAC-12 Gives them a lot of access to Thursdays. Along with the ACC. The Big East only has 2 Thursday slots this year.
