What else is scheduled that day on FOX (I think it is on FOX at least)? Let's be honest, media execs have to think that a Bedlam rematch will be the Big XII title matchup, so why would that not be primetime or mid afternoon? Or maybe these decisions were made long ago? The Cowboys are on a bye that week, so this isn't Jerry's doing. Whatever the reason, I am personally embarrassed for the conference.

the other conference championships are the same day, and they always stagger them because they can't all be on prime time.  we got the short straw because we just started the game back up and our conference has been crap for awhile now, this isn't that hard.

BigTen got the night slot & Pac-12 is on Friday night on ESPN.  Fox didn't want to go up against SEC in the afternoon.  The ACC hasn't been announced, but I'm sure it will be night on ABC.

When we used to get the night slot there were only 3 of these games & ABC/ESPN would put Big12 on ABC & ACC on ESPN at night.  The interesting thing will be next year when the Pac12 goes back to Fox and we are on ABC/ESPN.  Fox has the BigTen every year (I think), so I'm guessing they're invested in turning the Saturday night slot into the BigTen slot, a la SEC/afternoon.

Would it make more sense, from FOX's perspective, to play a Friday primetime game, even if it is up against, for at least part of the game, the PAC title tilt? Does Saturday at 1130 cst even compare to Friday at 7 PM cst, in terms of potential audience numbers? They may get the Bedlam rematch this year so it won't matter as the college football world would be focused on that regardless of time, but what if it's an Oklahoma St. v. TCU final one year or a Kansas State/West Virginia game? Maybe I'm missing something basic here but Saturday at 1130 seems to be the worst of all possible options, although there is no competition in that slot, so maybe that is the long and short of it. I would think those Friday night ad revenues would be much better though.

I have no evidence to back this up, but my impression has always been that Saturday noon games are better audience/ad draws than Friday night games.

We had four schools leave the conference, but a morning championship game called by Joe Davis and Brady Quinn feels like rock bottom.

The vast majority of P12 championship games were reruns.  I think all except one thus far.

I was thinking that the Big 12 couldn't do much worse than Boren. So, likely not nearly as mumped?

Boren out seems like positive news for the "keeping the conference together" crowd.

Boren seems representative of the delusional Oklahoma fan base.  The best thing that could happen to the state of Oklahoma would be for Okie State to win the national championship, taking away the "psychologically disadvantaged conference" red herring that OU fans cling to.

Without Boren, the conference would appear to be far stabler over the past several years. Unless they replace him with a full on SEC guy, we should be better off.

Obviously I'm waiting for someone with more smarts and/or time to back me up here.

Pro=Tip:  Look at the low viewer ratings of the Friday evening PAC 12 CCG's.

Boise St trying to get into the Big 12 by inflating their ticket sales.  Small time.

If you want to tailgate at BYU, you better be prepared to do it in a gay bar if you want to drink.
