"National TV" is such a relative term these days. Not many non-Sunbelt games are non-televised. JMO, but "National TV" includes...
ABC
NBC
CBS
FOX
ESPN, 2, or U
FOX Sports 1
CBSS
Regional coverage should not be considered "National TV", but even CSS is considered by most to be "National".
I believe OSU, Auburn, LaLaff, and UNT will be televised on real TV (not streamed only)
I don't know that I'd agree about CBSS. Not all providers carry it. I know my mom and dad have tried to watch our basketball games when they've televised, but Cox in Baton Rouge doesn't carry. Or is it CBSSN?Quote:

CBS Sports Network is definitely national TV. The last update I saw in October had CBS Sports Network with a distribution of 53 million homes with availability to 96 million (almost everybody with cable/satellite/iptv/etc) if they upgrade their package, and its coverage is nationwide.
The national sports networks that broadcast college sports are:
- ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC (broadcast networks)
- ESPN (98.3 million)
- ESPN2 (98.3 million)
- Fox Sports 1 (90 million)
- NBCSN (77.7 million)
- ESPNews (74.7 million)
- ESPNU (74.4 million)
- CBS Sports Network (53 million)
- Big Ten Network (52 million)
- Fox Sports 2 (40 million)
- Pac-12 Networks (30 million pre-deal with U-verse)
I like having games on FS1 but prefer the coverage of CBS sports. That being said I'll take any coverage I can get.
The only thing I (don't) miss about the ESPN family of channels are the funky days and start times to which we were relegated.Quote:

Right, generally our first game of the year is PPV. I hope not but that'd be my guess.Quote:

Honest question: Do people in leadership at LA Tech just sit around TRYING to think of ways to screw up our football seasons???
Nope...the reason it happens....is because they DON'T think!!!!Quote:
