Any leaks/news as to UMich kick time?
- Thread starter RTRMR
- Start date
Personally would like noon kick but care more about team getting the W than kick time.
I would like to see Sandy show some balls (metaphorically speaking of course) and announce... "We have decided to kick off the Penn State - Michigan game at 7:30 pm. We invite all our fans and any tv networks that wish to broadcast the game to join us in Beaver Stadium at that time. We are ... Penn State!"
(For those of you that don't understand sarcasm, yes, I know we are contractually prevented from doing so)
Was network covered the game? Assuming it wasn’t Fox if baseball playoffs were happening.
It was up in the air like this and ABC got it and it was a 7:30 game
From working out the combinations, I think Disney has the rights to this game and it will be on ABC. Could be 3:30 or 7:30 though. I think we are likely to be a night game, but I wouldn't be shocked to see our game at 3:30 and Oregon/Washington the night game on ABC.
ABC is contractually obligated to show at least 1 Pac-12 game in Prime Time per year.
I tend to think ABC will wait until November 2 to show the Pac-12. On that day, we have Oregon @ USC and Utah @ Washington. There are really no good ACC, B1G or Big XII games that day, so I'd guess that's the day for the Pac-12.
(ABC could also go and take SMU @ Memphis for prime-time on November 2. Don't laugh, they'll both likely be undefeated. And then leave the Pac-12 for the last week of the season, Notre Dame @ Stanford. But, point being, ABC has to show a Prime-Time Pac-12 game somewhere but they have options beyond Oregon/Washington)
I’ve heard about PSU moving functions due to it being a noon kick.
FOX Rotates Saturday's between Big 10 and Big 12.
Last week was OU-Texas Tech, this week was Iowa-Michiga, next week is OU-Texas, then after we will be us and Michigan.
Last week was OU-Texas Tech, this week was Iowa-Michiga, next week is OU-Texas, then after we will be us and Michigan.
So what you are suggesting is that even though ICA does not know (supposedly), groups like alumni association, hospitality services, etc. know and are changing function times?
Man, Fox is really going to kill the golden goose with this insane “good games at noon” thing.
Wrong. That’s not how it works.
Washington just lost to Stanford last night. PSU moving functions just means there is a possibility of a noon kick, not a done deal. We are looking good for prime time, will know tomorrow.
Huge, huge game that will decide the B1G East and playoff spot. Don Brown's defense is coming together at the right time - just ask Iowa and their totally confused and beat up QB Stanley. Release the Wolverine in Michigan football !!!!
I'm guessing you were out last night or went to sleep early and didn't watch the OSU-MSU game. They are going to shred the great Don Brown's defense. I anticipate we will also. (and I know you're playing us).
At the 3-4min mark Fowler points to Herbie and says "We're gonna have the whiteout game in two weeks at Penn state”. Take that for what you will..

It was some internal PSU academic function and the dean of that department sent out a note that it was moved because the Michigan game was at noon. FWIW.
Even the most extreme pessimistic mental gymnastics make this hard to take any way other than they are covering the game that night...
Sounds like night game on ESPN or ABC for UM with Herby and Fowler.
It was because it might be a noon game, not because it was a noon game.
So, does this mean Fowler let the cat out of the bag?Ha, guess that Dean was wrong.
IIRC, Chris Fowler was doing the play-by-play on that game, because Todd Blackledges Usual partner was receiving award somewhere
how does this actually work from a contract standpoint? is the contract between the ncaa and the networks as a group? is there some method to how things are allocated? so when we say that Fox has the rights the game, how do we know that? is it a week to week negotiation as to who gets what? realize the value of games change week to week, but this seems overly complex.
Why not have the games kick off at 2:00 AM Wednesday AM... there would be much less competition
If there was ever a week for them to try a Pac 12 game at noon, this weekend would be a good one.. However, the Pac 12 has said they won't be doing a Pac 12 for breakfast game this year.
Other than that, you've got Oklahoma State & Baylor? ... Baylor will likely be ranked today, however Ok State will probably fall out. Other than that?
I could see WVU at Oklahoma being Fox's noon tilt... other than that? It's slim pickins in college football for a marquee game that Fox could get their hands on... I don't think the SEC or ACC is even an option?
Here's the potential MLB playoff schedule:
Saturday, Oct. 19: ALCS Game 6 (if necessary), Fox or FS1
Saturday, Oct. 19: NLCS Game 7 (if necessary), TBS
Fowler's tweet is most telling, IMHO... I doubt he'd tweet that if it wasn't going to be covered by his team. Unless he means gameday?
