I wonder what ESPN pays in taxes every year.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Cause he loves his AAC on ESPNU and ESPNEWS. :lol:

Not good for Fox IMO the first few weeks....

while ABC is airing games like Florida/Michigan, Florida St/Alabama in week 1, then in week 2 Pittsburgh/Penn St, Oklahoma/Ohio St Fox gets saddled with UTEP/Oklahoma, Purdue/Louisville for week 1, then in week 2 Nebraska/Oregon, Stanford/USC....

Fox will need to get some neutral site games quite frankly that they own that they can get teams.

Great college football lineup for FOX Sports with Big 10, Big 12 and Pac 12. Plus MLB postseason and World Series and obviously the NFL.

Anxiously awaiting Stever's response as to how this is a bad thing for FOX or Big East

Apologies, took me a minute to notice he had a post awaiting approval.

Whew, lucky for Fox the college football season typically runs for an additional 9 or 10 weeks, plus bowls after that...! Fox really caught a break on that one...!

You know the Georgetown and Big East basketball fan is grasping at straws when he is complaining about "the first few weeks" of FOX's college football schedule that includes Texas A&M at UCLA, Maryland at Texas, Purdue vs Louisville, Nebraska at Oregon, Stanford at USC and Minnesota at Oregon State..... and then only gets better from there.

Tough fall ahead for FOX (or tough first few weeks as Stever would say).

Fox has improved their football schedule- but it's no where close to ESPN. The problem in the list that you say Fox College Football this fall includes is that those 5 are pretty close to the top 5 games that Fox will air. Nebraska/Oregon and Stanford/USC will get trounced by Pitt/Penn St and Oklahoma/Ohio St. Like I said, Fox has improved, but it's still no where near ESPN.

I think it's really curious to see Fox almost punting the first 2 weeks. I mean, Oklahoma/UTEP is going to be on Big Fox? While ABC shows Florida/Michigan.

And you are really funny if you really mentioned the bowl season as a possibility for Fox to catch up vs ESPN. Given Fox owns all of what 1 bowl?
