Deal is for up to 12 football and 12 basketball games per year. Six football games this year include 2 Thursday, 3 Saturday, and Friday after Thanksgiving. Deal is through a sublicense agreement with ESPN. Don't know if these will replace games that were going to be on ESPN2 and ESPNU or will be games that are ESPN3 games that will now be broadcast on TV as well.

Finally! My guess is the major ESPN games won't be touched and the digital games will get themselves on an actual television network.

In the middle of the season the MAC has been the most underexposed conference in America. Turn on a TV and there'd be Mountain West, CUSA, Sun Belt, FCS and high school games all over network TV channels all day with zero representation from the MAC. Thankfully this will change that.

Sounds good to me. The more MAC football on TV, the better. I have Dish and see games from all over the country on CBS Sports so to get MAC games is great. Channel 158 on Dish.

94 days and counting....BEAT TN.
