Here is what we had this past year

*One ESPN Saturday game was Labor Day Sunday
** Both weeknight non-national TV games were labor day weekend

Basktball is way too convuluted to do in this manner, but here is a snippet from the BE press release from this year:

Big East Wrote:On the national television slate, ESPN & ESPN2 will carry 45 conference games. At least 24 league games will be televised on ESPNU, which reaches more than 73 million homes. CBS Sports has six BIG EAST contests, its highest number of conference games in 20 years, and one non-league game. ESPN will continue to televise The BIG EAST Championship presented by American Eagle Outfitters from Madison Square Garden in New York. The dates for the 2013 event are March 12-16. It will be the 31st BIG EAST tournament at MSG.

At least 75 of the 135 regular-season BIG EAST games will be on national television. One hundred seven of the 135 will include one team that played in the 2012 NCAA Championship. Thirty seven games will have two NCAA squads. BIG EAST teams will play, on average, 10 nationally televised games during their 18-game league schedules. The remaining conference games will be produced by ESPN Regional Television for the BIG EAST Network. All BIG EAST Network games will be available on ESPN3.

It is the sixth consecutive season that every league game will be televised.

The league also announced a partial schedule of non-conference games that will be televised on national networks. At least 34 intersectional games will receive national exposure.

Using this information, I sort of backfilled the numbers for the BEN/ESPN3 split and the ESPN/ESPN2 split using estimations.

Big East g Pct
CBS_N 6 4%
ESPN_ 30 22%
ESPN2 15 11%
ESPNU 24 18%
BENet 50 37%
ESPN3 10 7%
Total_ 135 100%


Matt Sarz has a full list on website, but for basketball it is not broken down by conference.

We also had a lot more power in C-USA to make those types of demands. Do you think as a newbie who still hasn't even gotten an all sports invite yet that we'd be in a position to refuse those games if the league wanted us to play them? I personally don't.

I do. What difference does it make if we're a newbie? We've got the best attendance and game atmosphere in the conference. We've also got a significant affect on the NBE bowls as well. If I'm TH I don't vote FOR mid-week games and I tell the rest of the league to go **** themselves if they want them played in Greenville.

You made a very good point as to why we shouldn't agree to mid-week games at ECU. These FB members don't even have the sack to officially give us FB only. Why should we bend on the mid-week football issue?

Away games...... FINE. Home.... HELL NO.
