[Husker] BCS Moving to Fox

[Mike Jaixen]

USA Today reports today that Fox will announce a new 4
year contract to televise the Fiesta, Orange, and
Sugar Bowls, as well as the new BCS National
Championship game starting in 2006.  Apparantly, this
deal is for the Fox broadcast network, and not FSN,
the regional cable sports network.

ABC's contract with the Rose Bowl is not affected by
this deal, though in the years where the BCS National
Championship game is held in Pasadena, the title game
will be on Fox.  

If I remember correctly, the BCS title game will be an
additional "5th game" that will occur after the New
Year's games and will rotate amongst the Fiesta,
Orange, Rose, and Sugar Bowls.
