[Husker] New Mexico State Gametime Set

[Mike Jaixen]

The networks don't have to declare their intentions for televising games until 12 days before the game.  (There are two options where they can defer that decision until six days before the game.)  So, the networks have until Monday, September 15th to decide on televising the Virginia Tech game.  Or two days after the New Mexico State game.

I do believe that ABC, FSN, and Versus have had informal discussions with Nebraska with respect to their plans.  Versus has a Big XII game timeslot at 11:30 am on September 27th, and FSN has a choice between 2:30 pm and 6 pm.  The Big XII conference site doesn't mention whether ABC has any specific timeslots set for that date.

I think it's likely that NU/VT will be the top Big XII game that weekend.  (Colorado plays at Florida State, which would be covered by ACC contracts.)  The only other game even close would be TCU at Oklahoma.
