Why isn't Saturday's game televised?

Looking at the television schedule for Saturday's SEC games, I see that the MSU game is the only one not being televised. (I don't count ESPN3 as television since it is broadcast solely over the internet.) I thought the home games of every SEC school would be televised by either the SEC network, one of the ESPN channels, or CBS. I know that our matchup with UAB is not a marquee game but neither is Arkansas-Nichols State, Auburn-San Jose State, Bama-Florida Atlantic, South Carolina-East Carolina, LSU-Sam Houston State, Missouri-Toledo, Tennessee-Arkansas State, or A&M- Lamar. Does anyone know why the MSU game is the only one not on television? Also, who decided on a 1:00 p.m. kickoff on the first Saturday in September for a game that is not televised? Given the heat this time of year, I would have thought a night game would have been more appropriate.

Thanks for the information. The SEC website only had it listed on ESPN3. I will be at the game on Saturday, but know several elderly MSU fans, including my parents, that can no longer attend games.

Anytime you check ESPN for tv lineups

you will notice regional coverage is left out because to them (ESPN), it's covered through ESPN3 and Gameplan, even though it is technically on a regional network.

So, when checking for tv, it's always best to use hailstate.com or the hailstate App

I know when you see LSU (lol). But seriously, this site is the most comprehensive College Football TV Schedule Site (for all college football games televised), that I have ever seen, and it is updated on a regular basis.

My Fox Sports Net listing at that time claims they'll be showing the complete waste of photons that is the World Poker Tour.
Leaving me no choice but to "steal" content.
