The Board Idiot Posts: 11,786 Group: Referee Member #6 Joined: December 11, 2005 NFL Team Philadelphia Eagles NBA Team Denver Nuggets NHL Team Buffalo Sabres NCAA Team Penn State Nittany Lions, Syracuse Orange	ESPN has the rights to the BCS games. From espn.com: Quote: The Bowl Championship Series is coming to ESPN starting in January 2011 (following the 2010 regular season). ESPN and the BCS announced the deal on Tuesday. It includes exclusive television, radio, digital, international and marketing rights for the Fiesta, Orange and Sugar Bowls from 2011-2014 and the BCS title game from 2011 to 2013. The Rose Bowl will continue to be televised on ABC through 2014 under a separate, previous contract. The Rose Bowl is also slated to host the 2014 title game. ESPN is currently available in 98 million American homes. The current BCS deal with Fox Sports expires after the 2010 games. This means the Fiesta, Orange and Sugar Bowls, plus the BCS Championship Game, will be televised in prime time each January. The schedule has not been released. There will also be a BCS show on ESPN every Sunday to unveil the current rankings. The games will also be carried on ESPN Radio and ESPN Deportes Radio. Digital Media rights include operation of the official BCS Web site and the opportunity to simulcast the games online at ESPN360.com and on ESPN Mobile TV for mobile devices. Full article

It is not college football. That honor goes to ESPN and it's family of networks. I expect to see high-quality broadcasts in the coming years.
