Let's keep this simple for a sec - look at florida and texas.
FSU and Florida are playing Sat. One at home, one on the road. Miami is in the ACC and playign thurs night on ESPN.
FSU and Florida are in the 3:30 time slots and 8:00PM EST, for their respective networks. Prime time.
UCF is at home v. Temple, and USF on the road @ Houston. (for example)
UCF plays i.e. Temple at 12:00 pm EST @ home. No conflict in Florida.
USF plays @ Houston...game time is 7:00 CST. Texas and A&M have already played at 2:30 CSt and TCU played the big 12 game at noon CST. Houston is primetime saturday night in their home region with no conflict in TExas. (8:00 pm EST)
All of the big east games are being advertised on the same network backbone, just regionally.
So when the game schedules go up on the screen to be advertised. If you live in TExas - you see the game that is local to you listed at the top, and the other games that are available in other regions of the country at the same time listed underneath. Just like the NFL.
ESPN can't do it, which is why they've never made a play for NFL conference broadcasting like the major networks.
ESPN would need cable carriers to list several more channels than they already have on their basic cable lineup card......
to do a nationwide broadcast of football games all occuring on the same day starting at noon EST and ending at 12:00am EST. yet still be able to focus regionally.
But what I'm talking about makes no sense if all you know when it comes to sports broadcasting - is ESPN.
