As first reported by Sports Business Journal, the Big 12 football championship will not be carried by FOX this year or future odd numbered years. There will be plenty of two deep. Two BC dropouts have started a new magazine focused on college students. The last game that I could find from the Big 12 that started at or after 8pm Central in the Big 12 was Oklahoma at Kansas in 2011. The SEC has already had three 8pm CT starts this year, which, based on going back to 2011, could be the maximum number of starts at that time per year as each year had no more than three of those games. For the first time ever, the Mitten Michigan State Spartans Sports Report will be conducting exclusive interviews with local athletes, and celebrities that you want to hear from. Coverage will be streamed via “TV Everywhere,” the media industry’s effort to make quality content available to MVPD customers both in and out of home and on multiple platforms. FOX Sports Regional Networks and affiliates cover a lot of the territory, so CBS could sublicense some of their content to FOX.

All bowls are not created equal, but this one has a lot to offer. Gene’s politicking led to the ACC instituting the “BC Rule” that limits bowls bypassing teams. I think every BC fan expects to be passed over for the second tier bowls. Southern Pigskin thinks we have the second best group of receivers in the ACC. A rating. We group them together in our top sportsbooks list, allowing you to choose the site that best suits your needs from the bunch. We delivered the highest rating in their history. Unfortunately, North Carolina Central has not experienced a team with the playing experience of WKU and will be undermanned going against an 85 scholarship program with a history of dominating on the FCS level. Southern will exhaust every effort to comply in order to reverse the post season ban. Runners up medals or trophies, should be an attempt to push that child into trying and practicing harder in order to get to first spot. Offering 18 intercollegiate sports on a $6.5 million budget, the department is scraping to get through the 2008-09 fiscal year that ends June 30. If more money is not raised through donations and sponsorships, JSU might have to eliminate two or three sports, athletic director Bob Braddy said.

The only saving grace is that our last appearance (with BC whining and the Boise people insulting Kiwi) left such a bad taste in everyone’s mouth, that Boise might do what it can to take any other team. For example, they might consider syncing up their programming contracts so that they expire at the same time, they negotiate across both business at a later date. Incoming basketball freshmen Dallas Elmore is on campus and in class. The Hall of Fame Class will be honored in conjunction with the 2010 MEAC Basketball Tournament, held March 8-13 at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum (LJVM) in Winston-Salem. Dan Brugler of The Athletic fit Hall behind Kenneth Walker III and Spiller as the No. 3 back in the draft. If the defense is great and if Clemson collapses we could win our way back into the ACC Championship Game. It is only July, but these Clemson writers are predicting another BC victory over the Tigers.

The bowl would probably want Maryland or Virginia over us. Who would have thought that any bowl would want to invite BC two years in a row. It’s Srikanth who wins the first point of the match. Gene’s assessment of BC situation (AND I AM PARAPHRASING WITH AN OVERLY FLIPPANT TONE): “it’s the BCS or bust.” Gene’s point wasn’t new. At this point I don’t fault the Athletic Department for our bowl challenges. BC embraced the bowl like we never have before. Sports clothing is now almost always made for specific sports, no longer will people put up with running shoes to play sports like badminton in. Regardless of the A&M-LaTech being added to the schedule, one game was going to be put on ESPN3 from either the ACC or the Big East. The Gator’s strong desire to select Notre Dame with its Big East slot also complicates matters. Be on the East Coast.
