This is a big deal for national exposure. Games on network TV draw better than ESPN2. It's still not a great time slot, but it's tough to find many games that have less than 2 million viewers.

Now all ESPN/Disney/ABC needs are two known teams* to make it there and have a hell of a game!
*And by that i mean NDSU and JMU/Villanova/SDSU.

This is GREAT! Vastly grows the audience going from ESPN 2 to ABC. People who don't have satellite or cable can now watch it free over the the air with an antenna! Time to pop out the ol' rabbit ears!
Wonder who will do the broadcast?

That is great for the Bison and for the FCS. I bet we're still stuck with the 11 AM game though, with NFL playoffs later in the day.

11am on ABC that time of year is a good time slot. A lot of smucks sitting home farting into their couches with nothing else to do. No other FB games on that time of day either. Go Bison, get there again!!!

Yeah, 11AM CT is probably a better TV spot on a Saturday than say 2PM CT. For fans who are there the latter is much better but it is what it is. This is a major step in the right direction from ESPN towards investing in the product that is the FCS playoffs. There was a baby step last year as well when they moved the Saturday semifinal from ESPNU to ESPN2. Hopefully this continues because the more eyeballs on FCS playoffs games the more valuable it becomes and the more valuable it becomes the less regionalized it can become and hopefully it can ultimately evolve into more of a true tournament.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
