According to Matt Muscona, ESPN said their going to televise every single football game next year that has an SEC team playing in it. Anyone know anything about this?

i'd be shocked, maybe carried on the espn sports package, or something to that effect

Not true, or at least not entirely accurate.
Any game on CBS will not be on ESPN.

Yeah it probably has to do with the SEC and ESPN new contract that made huge headlines last year. CBS gets the games, then everything CBS doesn't play goes to any of the ESPN networks. Great for basketball and football.

So in other words, every LSU game will be on TV?

I'd venture to say yes.

Probably means every LSU SEC/conference game...

That's what I meant, I should have read better.

CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN REGIONAL, CSS and one other network will all broadcast over the air on TV...the rest of the games will be on ESPN 360, so you can watch them on your computer.

Just because ESPN says they will televise every SEC game doesn't mean that every SEC game will be on ESPN, ESPN2, or ABC. It could also mean that ESPN will televise every SEC game on their ESPN Gameplan pay-per-view package.

All conference games will be carried on one of the ESPN channels if not chosen by CBS.
That includes ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Classic, and ESPN360.
A great thing overall for conference exposure but a bad thing for potential night games in Tiger Stadium. Some of these conference games will be in the 11am slot on ESPN. Usually Big10 games are in that time slot.

The 11am slot is just taking the place of JP.

This doesnt really affect LSU. I watch just about every game on TV already except when they play 1AA. Either on CBS or ESPN
Posted on 5/26/09 at 2:34 pm to TigerVision
Yea its the Mississippi States and Vandys of the world that this will help out.
Posted on 5/26/09 at 2:41 pm to bigpapamac
But ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU have 11am games as well. Which increase the chances of early games.
Posted on 5/26/09 at 2:43 pm to LSUtigerfreak1
"It is believed every SEC football game this season non-conference and conference will be broadcast on TV."

There will be a package of games that ESPN will sell to affiliates in the Southeast, just like JP/LF, but it will have ESPN branding. Game time will be the same 11:30 CT/12:30 ET

No, it means they have the RIGHTS to all of the SEC games. Not every LSU game will be on TV. Now, it probably means that all of them that CBS doesn't select (they still get first pick) will either be on ESPN or ESPN2, or on 360.
