One more reason for the Big East to get out of the contract with ESPN.
The game time for the University of Louisville-Pittsburgh football game has been set for 11 a.m. on ESPN-U on Oct. 13th, all but guaranteeing a low turnout from an already suspect Pitt fan base. Through the first three home games, Pitt’s average attendance is 41,773 per game at Heinz Stadium.
The conference is currently in negotiations with ESPN, and is prohibited from talking with other networks until early November. That’s when the Big East and NBC Sports/Comcast will be able to start forming a real partnership.
Seriously, a ranked, undefeated team relegated to playing a morning football game? Someone needs to start saying no.
Don’t you mean E$PN?
