CSU holds the TV rights for the game and has an opposing player promoting it.And I like how Hunter is in that tweet...bloodbath in Ft. Collins?
And 5:30 or 6 pm MT kickoffs, not 8pm...So three straight nationally televised night games to start the season...
To be fair, CBS holds the rights, not CSU, and this is probably going to be the most profitable game for CBS all season considering what they pay for MWC inventory vs what this game will do in ratings.CSU holds the TV rights for the game and has an opposing player promoting it.
And you have to believe Fox picks up at least one of our Big 12 games so that would be all 4 major networks for the first time since... ever?
CU plays Arizona, Utah, Kansas and Kansas State, all of which are likely going to be preseason Top 25. FOX is definitely picking up one of thoseAnd you have to believe Fox picks up at least one of our Big 12 games so that would be all 4 major networks for the first time since... ever?
They have to put (I think) two MWC games on big CBS every year, and the CinC trophy games (specifically Navy at Air Force) don't count. There's no way they were not taking this game.To be fair, CBS holds the rights, not CSU, and this is probably going to be the most profitable game for CBS all season considering what they pay for MWC inventory vs what this game will do in ratings.
Right now CBS has 10 unannounced B1G games throughout the season and I wouldn't be surprised if this one was earmarked as their top choice of any game all season. Maybe with the exception of USC at Michigan, which has already been announced.
Not a ton of big games that weekend, too. You've got Tenn @ Oklahoma, UCLA @ LSU, and Utah @ OSU.I would bet that, if The Buffs start 3-0, the week 4 home game v. Baylor will be on Fox. They obviously love coming to Boulder, and we will be back to driving the narrative again.
