The SEC has already released their schedule for the first 3 weeks. Why is the ACC so slow?

6/1/2007 9:29:47 AM

No college football TV schedule is set before the season except for ESPN thursday night games and the first week or two of the season. It's like that every year, because networks want to choose the best matchups.

They're still debating whether to put the UNC/State game on Versus or ESPNU

6/1/2007 9:37:29 AM

I just mean the first 3 weeks of games, which are set before the season, so we know when the State/UCF and State/BC games will be. It always takes the ACC longer than other conferences to make these decisions.

6/1/2007 1:14:41 PM

Well the ACC is one of the few {maybe only?) conferences that holds schedules to announce all of the conference schedules at once.

6/1/2007 1:16:53 PM

There are a few games announced already:
9/1/2007, 200PM - Virginia at Wyoming, Versus
9/1/2007, 330PM - Georgia Tech at Notre Dame, NBC-HD
9/3/2007, 800PM - Florida State at Clemson, ESPNHD
9/8/2007, 600PM - North Carolina at East Carolina, CSTV
9/8/2007, 915PM - Virginia Tech at LSU, ESPNHD
9/13/2007, 745PM - West Virginia at Maryland, ESPNHD
9/15/2007, 800PM - Duke at Northwestern, BTN-HD

Its been pretty reliable in the past, I usually find out what network we are playing on here before GoPack does .

Is that for real? That just sounds weird. Maybe its a chance to see more Jamie O'Hara halfback passes.

SEC RULES!

6/1/2007 2:07:12 PM

tha shitta

6/1/2007 2:07:35 PM

indefinitely

6/1/2007 2:09:09 PM

Awesome, CSTV! A network with 5% of the viewership of ESPNU!

6/1/2007 2:13:26 PM

^Ha, yeah, but ECU/C-USA own the TV rights, not NC State/ACC. And all their games go to CSTV nationally and WITN locally...although a few years ago WRAL carried the WITN broadcast of the UNC @ ECU game...not sure if contracts still allow this or not and if WRAL will do the same if it does.

6/1/2007 2:56:39 PM

^^ WITN will probably pick up CSTV's feed for ECU-NC State. Good news if you live in the eastern part of the state.

^ Would seem to me that all WRAL (or any Raleigh-based station) has to do is pay for the feed. News 14 could pay for it if they wanted.

NC State at Boston College at 230PM on ESPN2, games vs Central Florida and Wofford will be at 6PM and on ESPN360.

I have no idea if the new ESPN deal with TWC happened to include ESPN360 access, but if not, someone needs to find the backdoor like last season, as well as a link that will allow me to download it afterward .

6/4/2007 11:39:14 PM

that 360 backdoor was FTW

6/5/2007 12:24:09 AM

who the hell has CSTV?

6/5/2007 1:54:27 AM

^ I have it with my Speed TV, ESPNews, Versus, FSC, etc. sports package.

6/5/2007 2:13:53 AM

Does anyone know if the games on ESPN360 have to be watched live or if they save them for a few days to watch any time?

6/5/2007 7:25:08 AM

^4 yup i've got it in the sports package as well...got it a couple years ago when they kept putting random state basketball games on fox atlantic

6/5/2007 12:12:11 PM

i've been paying like $6.95 a month for CSTV online...i guess i might as well keep it

6/5/2007 12:15:19 PM

all ESPN360 takes is someone that can see it, right clicking on the event while its playing and copying the address

This was a shitty year to graduate and move 4 hours away. One of the best home schedules we have had in a while and only 1 of them is televised.

6/15/2007 2:31:29 PM

yea

6/15/2007 3:01:07 PM

Heh, I moved about 5.5 hours away after graduating. Missed the worst football season NCSU has had in ages and that was enough for me.

Back to Raleigh for me! WOO!
