Schedule

When do we expect conference schedule?

Any rumblings on a game time for UW Dec 10th?

[brewcity77]

The last two schedules came out September 8, 2015 and September 9, 2014. That's about a week after Labor Day, so probably either the end of next week or the week after. I'd guess September 12th or 13th at the latest.

I think the UW game has been an afternoon game every year since I was a freshman (07).  I can't imagine that will be changing now.  Probably noon or 1

It was a 8:30 PM game in 2008 and a 6:00 PM game in 2012.  In 2010 and 2014 it was early afternoon.

EDIT:  One more thing.  The day of the UW game is Saturday, December 10.  Nothing else is on the BC schedule for that day.  College football conference championship games are on December 3.  I can see this game as an early evening game on FS1.

FS1 usually does not have evening BE games on Saturdays though.  We shall see.

Wouldn't shock me if this game was on Fox. Good chance UW will be a top-10 team, and we could be ranked if we come in to that week 6-2 or 7-1, especially if we can beat Georgia on the road. No NFL games that day either.

the dates prior to 2013 are irrelevant.  The last 3 years (i.e., new BE) the schedule was released the week of Labor Day.  suspect we'll see the schedule next week.

Before and after 2013, the Big East has been using NBA arenas in Milwaukee, New York, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.  NHL arenas are being used in Newark, Philadelphia, New York, and Washington.  They've been using AHL arenas in Chicago and Providence.

The schedule takes until into September because of those leagues getting priority in those buildings.  That hasn't changed, nor will it be changing any time soon.

If it's Fox it would definitely be a day game. And Nukem good point about FS1. Probably got UFC scheduled for that evening.

UFC is running a PPV in Toronto that night, so there will (almost definitely) be prelims on FS1 from 7-9pm Central time.

[Mr. Nielsen]

If the game ends up on FOX it would be a day game. Villanova/Notre Dame is on CBS at 11am and the Army/Navy football game follows that on CBS. So, UW at MU will not be on CBS.

FS1 should have UFC that night.

It will be a solid day for FOX/FS1 that day on Dec. 10th as the Big East schedule is Wisconsin at Marquette, Cincinnati at Butler and Utah at Xavier. UMass at Providence and Longwood at Creighton is also on Dec. 10th. DePaul vs Temple & LaSalle vs Georgetown play in Miami for the HoopHall Invitational. I have not seen a boardcast network for that series, but it's smells like FS1.

I remember being told by Dr. Janners that the basketball schedule (and as a result, the band schedule) was delayed in 2010 due to this.  In particular, that was the year LeBron jumped to Miami, so it forced them to re-work the NBA schedule to give the Heat more primetime games, when then delayed everything else.

2:30 ish in Big Boy FOX is pretty much a lock.  Now let's just win it to prove America right.

Per Jon Rothstein, schedule to come out next week.

Given the historical timing of the schedule, I like that he treated this like it was actual news that he worked hard with a source to get.

So which would we rather have... early/mid afternoon on the Mothership or evening on FS1.

Prime time!

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict a home and home with the other  9 teams spread out between the end of December and the first few days of March .  Followed by a few days in NYC.   Some will be afternoons, but most will be at night.

That would be awesome!  I sure hope you're right...

Well played.   Personal nit.  I've never understood the obsession with a true round robin schedule.
