ABC seriously, when was the last time we played on a Big 4 Network?

They want to celebrate the awesomeness of the new professional league.

Is this official, or are you just throwing it out there? I can't see how there is anyway ABC puts a game like this on the national ABC midday spot.

ESPNs website doesn't list an official time yet but lists the broadcasting network as ABC/ESPN2. I'm going to be believe the game will be on ESPN2 because ABC just doesn't make sense.

It is a mirror broadcast. This part of the country will see it on ABC while the rest will see it on ESPN2. However, they haven't announced what the other game will be yet. http://espn.go.com/college-football/schedule/_/week/4

Well, it will not be aired on both ABC & ESPN2. Based on that it will be ESPN2. There is no way in hades that game will be aired on ABC.

What CAMustang said is correct.
That game will be on ABC in Texas and whatever surrounding area they decide. In the other part of the country, it will be on ESPN2.
The broadcast split depends on the other game.

Depending on which other game they pick to share the national ABC/ESPN2 timeslot, our game will be on ABC at least in Texas and likely the southeast as well.

The bad part is in these national dual windows they can't switch away.

Regardless, just further proof that college football gods hate SMU. The entire nation will witness us get pummeled by 60 in our own stadium full of Aggie fans. That's sounds swell.

Looks like that AAC tv deal is actually pretty good.
