ESPN will continue to have the B1G own the 12:00 noon time slot.
ABC Sports has been showing a B1G game at noon since 1966, and ESPN will continue that tradition. Sometimes ABC will still show them at noon, but ESPN and ESPN2 seem to always show them. They will consume most of the 25 games during that time slot pretty easily.
The ACC will continue to show the noon game on Raycom, recently moved to 12:30 to accommodate the weekly ACC show with Tommy Bowden.
The high profile ACC games will continue to be shown in Prime Time on ABC or ESPN, but lately ESPN has been wanting to allow the SEC own the prime time slots on ESPN and ESPN2. The PAC12 comes in at 10:00 pm.
What I'm interested to see is how ESPN will treat the 3:30 time slot. I'm hoping with the B1G content reduced, that ACC will get more time on ABC at 3:30. We will be competing with the Big XII for it now more than the B1G. We should certainly get the whole eastern seaboard more now during the ABC/ESPN2 split at 3:30. I hope it happens. The SEC is over on CBS during that time, and Notre Dame is on NBC.
