No PAC-12 games televised this weekend?

[TOP]

5 conference games and 0 will be televised nationally. Ouch. How does that even happen?

Guess they should have had that ESPN/Fox deal kick in this season.

They can't even get airtime on ESPN3. Is ESPN3 not allowed to show PAC-12 games?

no late game? I'm disappoint

They're all being televised on FSN or a FOX affiliate.

Still, how does a pretty good game like Washington/Utah or a solid late game like UCLA/Stanford not at least draw the likes of ESPNU or ESPN3?

Washington-Utah and UCLA-Stanford are on FSN. UCLA-Stanford starts at 10:30et so everyone will still have a late game.

Wonder why that didn't show up on ESPN.

Also, does everyone even get FSN? I have it but I never watch it. The broadcasts are terrible

I think everyone gets a region-named one (fox sports south; cards games and some big 12 games get shown on fox sports Midwest)

All five games will be nationally broadcast. UCB-WSU and ASU-OSU will be on FCS Pacific and their local FSN affiliates, which is national if you have the right cable package. Arizona-USC, UW-Utah and UCLA-Stanford should all be on FSN/Comcast throughout the whole country.

The SEC sells tier one rights to CBS for one game a week which usually ends up on the main channel. Tier two rights go to ESPN, which obviously doesn't have a regional set up a'la FSN. Tier three rights are left up to the schools, which usually go to local broadcast or PPV.

Pac-12 sells tier one rights to ESPN with some special caveats for FSN, like this week. Tier two and three also go to FSN/Comcast with no rights to ESPN, which would explain why you never see Pac-12 games on ESPN3/GamePlan -- because the only games that ESPN gets are nationally broadcast on ABC/ESPN/ESPN2, while the type of stuff that would wind up on GamePlan is sold to FSN.

Being in Pacific time doesn't help.

I watch High School football on Friday nights. No need in seeing it again on Saturday
