Why is CBS showing Ohio St/IU during the 3:30 feature game tomorrow?

What happened to the SEC game of the week? I figured Tenn/Virginia would get that game.

CBS doesn't have the first two weeks of SEC games under contract: a vestige of the time when CBS carried US Open tennis.

They made their bed and now they have to lie in it.

It doesn't get any better next weekend with UNLV at Michigan (without Jim Harbaugh).

frick them for leaving us after getting a sweetheart deal for so long.

CBS does such a good job production quality they make every match-up look big time..It's what they do best.

The SEC is going to miss that.

I loathe the production quality of ABC/ESPN....NBC, Fox, CBS all do it better

Sankey screwed us with the exclusive Disney deal. Everything ESPN does is subpar compared to Fox/CBS/NBC. The only good thing about ESPN is Chris and Kirk and even they sounded lackadaisical last night.

Opening weekend sucks this year. Not only no top 10 match ups, but ZERO ranked team matchups.

It is pathetic.

UT vs Va is on ABC

tOSU and Michigan are the only draws of the big 10 right now so they will be the CBS game when possible

Ohio State is one of the more watched teams.

This, Ohio State at 2:30 on network is probably 4-5 million viewers guaranteed. Doesn't matter who they're playing.

CBS used to wait until the US Open was done.

For many years the kickoff game (primetime game) was Florida-UT

LSU and F$U play Sunday on ABC and both schools are ranked in the Top Ten.

Kirk is a B1G fan. It probably eats him up having to cover SEC football now as much as it does for us to listen to him

When did they join the Big 12?


This nothing new. The B1G has always been about just these two schools and will continue going forward. the more schools they add, they dumber they get for not seeing this

B1G add IND Michigan State (recent MNC winner) and Sparty has no MNC since
B1G add IND Penn State (multiple MNC winner) and PSU has no MNC since
B1G add B12 Nebraska (multiple MNC winner) and Big Red has no MNC since


B1G is where winning schools go to die feeding BuckNuts and MeatChicken
