I see the times for the SFA and UND home games are TBD. :-k UM has one TBD home game vs. SUU. None of those games are part of the ROOT package. Is this old news? Anyone know what's up there?

ROOT has stated that additional games might be added. Perhaps this is the reasoning for the TBD game time. Wouldn't that just be tragic if the ROOT schedule got even more MSU heavy :-({|= :-({|= :-({|=
:D

If it's old news then you must have a link ? Rumors on egriz do not equal news.

Schedule card picked up at MSU has both games listed at 1:30 pm. SFA's web site has the game at 2:30 pm central time (1:30 mountain). UND site says TBA. The card does say "All times and dates are subject to change," but it does appear that at least at one time MSU's schedule was for 1:30 starts.

The games in question are going to be night games on network television. NBC decided they would rather have the Cats vs. SFA instead of Miami(OH) @ Boise State. The reasoning was that the blue turf can cause seizures when viewed on tv's utilizing the over-the-air digital conversion boxes (very common in the Ohio viewing area). For the Delaware @ Old Dominion on October 27th, polls showed there just wasn't much interest compared to ND@MSU.

Furthermore, since UM's schedule was cancelled MSU agreed on terms with the NFL on the Seattle Seahawks' bye week. Should make for great regional PR.
