hope for fewer after 7:30pm games. This is apparently the main issue that may change

The window of exclusivity.

It’s a common component in sports TV deals, and here’s how it works with the Pac-12:

Under the terms of the contract, Fox must show at least eight games on its over-the-air network (i.e., Big FOX), and ESPN must show at least two on ABC.

Those broadcasts have to be of the game-of-the-week variety and include a window of exclusivity from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (Pacific).

In other words:

If FOX broadcasts a game at 4 p.m., or if ABC shows a game at 5 p.m., then no other Pac-12 games can be televised until 7:30.

Not making it out there, I do have to say I miss terribly the beauty that is an early afternoon game out on the west coast.

It has always struck me that the sun just lights up things slightly differently in So Cal, In Nor Cal, in New Mexico, in Texas, etc.

I adore sunny pac12 games.
