[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 132100993, member: 1428007"] What games do you think NBC is going to be putting on exactly. Lets take a particular week upcoming as an example. Wisconsin at Ohio State. Noon game ABC now, will be the BIG FOX noon game Then. Pretty boring game for most of the college football world outside those two states. Fox has the doozy Maryland at Michigan same day also at noon This season. But that will become the 3:30 CBS game once the new deals come in. What will be left? What blockbuster will NBC have for that night game? UCLA v. Rutgers? or Minnesota or Northwestern? once in awhile they might get an MSU v. USC but not every week cause maybe Ohio State is playing Illinois or Purdue and Fox or CBS takes the bigger matchup. Games yes, big game? Maybe if you are a fan of that schools. Otherwise , meh. when conferences sign tv deals they are guaranteed a certain number of games on specific networks and times. When the BIG 12 signed their deals everyone already had most prime and 3:30 windows filled up. Fox wasn’t outperforming ABC or CBS so they made the noon game their featured game and put each conferences bigger games there. Of course OU and Texas are going to get the most prime spots, just like Alabama did in the SEC, Ohio State in the B10, Clemson in the ACC. And the BIG 12 will still have premiere games like every other conference with compelling matchups and still get some prime time spots as well— with the new B10 and SEC deals those will be harder to come by but won’t be gone.
