From ESPN+? That's a nice bump

Thats a huge bump, I guess the ND postpone and GT tv ratings made this happen.

Too bad there are only going to be 350 people in the stands, thanks to our oh so kind governor.

So if USF gave Notre Dame Covid, thanks Bulls!

If I'm not mistaken, ECU hasn't been on ABC since this game:

Lol RIP. I just hope we compete. Sure wish we could fill the stands for this one.

Nice. Unfortunately ABC is never on in my break room so I'll be missing the game that day, unless I use some PTO during lunch and head to my mom's. Hope UCF wins but would be nice to see both teams put up some points and make it an entertaining game for such a large audience.

You guys think a lot of CUSA fans will be watching for old time's sake?

I don’t have to get ESPN+ yet LFG!!!

Nice.

How many times has a conference game been on ABC? The only other game that I can think of was the 2017 War on I4 but to be honest, I'm not totally confident that it was ABC.

It was abc. So was Cincy UCF for game day in 2018, and the conference championship games. I’m sure there’s lots more but those are the ones that I can think of off the top of my head.

Time to shine Pirates.

Flags up!!

Memphis has had several...vs. SMU, UC and UH come to mind... maybe more. AAC Black Friday games have routinely been on ABC IIRC. Show out!

How about your ever so smart governor if you want to see the season continue. One breakout your season could be over as well as everyone else's. Not everyone is as stupid as our president.

Just need to keep it respectable...

No F'N way.

Great to hear, though. I don't have ESPiN*.

I signed up 3 hours before seeing this news. Immediately cancelling.

I am thrilled, and rather shocked to see my Knights get the bump up to ABC. Really would've expected Army at Cincy since both are ranked teams (and we know people like to watch the service academies). UCF at ECU quite likely will be a blowout. But I guess they didn't want to have to replace that 3:30eastern ESPN game (though they could've just slotted UCF in there). I'm guessing that win and ratings over Ga Tech really propelled this team, and I'm getting the feeling that UCF is starting to be the ESPN (ABC) media darlings of late.
