Funny how the visiting team is way out in front of the host team...

Local news, updated game schedule info on website...

etc.

Not really. I've known both fmr SID, Streeter and current SID, Steiner, for many years.

They do NOT put anything UP until it is official. Period.

A newspaper can say, "The game has been moved from ESPN3 to ASN and game time changed pending final approvals and clearance by ASN, MAC, etc." (this is kind of a hypothetical).

EMU sports info will announce something after the contractual elements are finalized.

They won't put out a statement like 'subject to approval by ASN and the MAC office...'.

The time and television arrangements will not be changed until the new arrangements have the approvals of all concerned, e.g., ODU, ESPN, ASN, EMU, etc.

And as mentioned, I doubt the approval from ASN wouldn't be given until they have the clearances until the individual networks have done their clearances (and there could be many television networks involved. Say ten.).

Sports television is big business, not mom and pop.

Remember whatever ODU says is not official.

The game time, television arrangements, etc. are under control of EMU and the MAC, similar to MLB where the home team controls until the game begins and then the umpires take control. (of course, the home team and home conference seeks the concurrence of the visiting team and its conference).

The Monarchs are supposed to show up, take part in the coin flip, and then roll over and play dead. Pun intended. Lol.

I guess that's what I think is so ironic about all of this....

1) ODU updates their website
2) ODU local press is first to report the change
3) FBSchedules.com updates their site
4) Game time is changed as a result

ASN is the network responsible for virtually all of ODU sports broadcasts.

Not a peep from EMU.

So,"If" it does happen, the visiting team will have managed to get the game switched to their preferred network and have the game time changed as a result.

I am indifferent to the outcome albeit I hope it gets resolved soon. Just seems weird to e having all of this occur during the week of the game...

I get it if it were the middle of the summer and this was being discussed but c'mon already...

According to the ODU beat writer it is still not resolved yet, but should be within the next few hours.

Thank you!!

EMU will not announce until it is is officially agreed.

BTW, I'm curious as to whether or not, ESPN3 will NOT show it. I assume not, but we don't know until officially announced.

That is something for the MAC office and ESPN to agree upon. I assume that ESPN is 'selling' the rights to ASN and it isn't clear exactly what they are selling, 'exclusive rights' or some type of shared rights where ESPN and ASN both have television rights.

We've read ODU beat writer speculation but the decision is with the MAC and ESPN, not ODU and C-USA.

Here again, if there are any issues re: time, ESPN3, etc. then EMU will not put out a statement until the details are finalized.

Sounds like it's all due to ASN and ESPN working on a buyout/non-buyout.

Tweet: "No one is talking but holdup on ODU-Eastern Michigan game time appears to be dispute between ESPN and ASN. http://hamptonroads.com/2015/09/odu-stil...1418609283 …"

This is why EMU isn't announcing anything. Not a done deal. This thing could go up in smoke (that would leave the game on ESPN3).

BTW, IF ASN is going to do the game, they got to get a crew, equipment, etc. there and prepared to do the game.

Anytime two networks are in negotiations, anything can or not happen.

But asinine to be going on 4 days before game day....!

RE: EMU's Season Opener Moved from ESPN3 to ODU's Network
If I'm following Greg Steiner's Tweets:

The game will be on both television and ESPN3 and at 3:30 (to accommodate ASN).

Sounds like from a media point of view, but sides got what they wanted (the game on their media, i.e., ASN and ESPN3).

Greg's Tweet:

"#EMUFB gets national distribution on ESPN3 as well as over-the-air syndicated television, including WXYZ's Bounce TV affiliate in Detroit"

Here are the list of affiliates listed for ASN:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_S...affiliates

I like the extensive list of regional sports networking who are affiliates of ASN, literally goes from coast-to-coast.

Related question, does ESPN send their own crew or do they outsource it to a local production company that broadcasts it under the ESPN name?

My guess is that ASN will send their crew and talent to the game.
