The announcement came Monday at 11 a.m. sharp, straight from Pac-12 HQ:
One of the conference’s two mega-collisions on Nov. 19 — either Utah at Oregon or USC at UCLA — would receive primetime treatment from Fox . The other would be relegated to the night window on ESPN.By 11:02, the storm had reached Category 5 levels."This is so sad," howled Utah and Oregon fans.Why in the world would the Pac-12 place a showdown with College Football Playoff implications in the 8:30 p.m.
That means Fox has exclusivity: No other Pac-12 game can be shown on the Disney networks in that window.Multiple sources told the Hotline that ESPN asked for a waiver allowing it to air the other Pac-12 showdown in primetime alongside the Fox broadcast.That left ESPN with two broadcast windows available for its Pac-12 game , except there really was only one choice: 8:30 p.m.
However, we know it’s a conference that cannot show games at 7:30 p.m. Pacific, because only the Pac-12 can do that.
