Fox Sports Not
One of our contenders for worst job televising a USC game gets two Pac-10 games right off the bat on August 30.
The network announced today it will show the Oklahoma St. vs. Washington St. game from Seattle, Wash., at 12:30 p.m., and the Washington at Oregon game at 7 p.m.
The PAC 10 commissioner is leaving. Do you think there is anyway that the new commissioner or the presidents will consider A) Televising more games with a network better than the high school A/V club, B) Look at expansion with say BYU and Colorado, C) Get a championship game. D) Get more bowl tie ins.
It's one thing to want to keep the "college" in college sports but that isn't a reason not to make money and keep up with the times.
As to comment (c), the conference would need to have at least 12 universities to qualify for a conference game that would not count against the 12-game limit. (Funny how the BCS schools want to take advantage of a rule set up for Division II schools back in the day.)
As to (a), do you really think the Eastern Sports Programming Network would really care about putting West Coast football in true primetime on a national basis? Two words - yeah, right!
