    The writers a douche. People have a hard enough time planning going to a football game 12 days in advance? The best PAC-12 season in years? Piss off.

    As long as "Big Fox" get's the required games, the network can do whatever they want. If the PAC 12 wanted more control on game times maybe they should have negotiated some of the 21 million/year each school received in the deal.

    Pac 12 is getting screwed in a sense but not legally. They are making them build up ratings for FS1.

    If you couldn't see that coming when they signed the deal then that is just dumb. There is nothing else in college football to show on a saturday night. Geographically it is not going to change.

    This article rips on FOX, but there's been a lot of night games on the ESPN family too.

    I like these night games. It gives me an excuse to stay up while my wife is asleep, then I can flip it to skinamax afterwards.

    The night games thing is strictly geographical and logical.

    Oregon lives in the ESPN night slot. If they were in the Central or Eastern time zone though they definitely would not.

    sven, Wilner's column reiterates what I was telling you the other day: The ratings share for the UW-UO game had a lot less to do with general interest in the game and more to do with FS1's visibility as a network.

    I get it, but the bottom line is that Pac-12 football is not pulling in ratings AT ALL this year.

    Skinamax? What the fuck? There's this thing called the internet. I heard there's lots more better porn on that then the softcore shit you watch after midnight on premium cable.
