Bayou Classic signs extension with NBC Sports Group; new kickoff time for annual football contest
![]()
The Bayou Classic team announced today that the 42nd Annual Bayou Classic will once again be broadcast on NBC, but this year will move to the broadcast company’s cable network – NBC Sports Network. The agreement between The Bayou Classic and NBC Sports Group extends the broadcast of the Bayou Classic on NBC Sports Network for another year.
"The landscape of television sports is changing and it is important to us that the Bayou Classic continue to be an integral part of that landscape," said Dottie Belletto, President of New Orleans Convention Company, Inc. (NOCCI), the management firm of the 42nd Annual Bayou Classic. "Coming off one of Bayou Classic's best and most dramatic seasons in decades, we could not be more proud to extend this historic partnership and are excited that this extension offers enhanced opportunities that allow us to bring Bayou Classic to fans on more platforms than ever before."

What channel is that on UVerse?
They might as well make it the first game of the Season for both teams now. Both teams are 0-0 and plenty enough time to promote the event.
Like I said, Howard-Hampton would not be the only ones to follow the PV-TX Southern route.

For what? That makes no sense. You really have no clue.

Since this is only a one year agreement, I wonder if they will reach out to ESPN/ABC? It seems like the Bayou Classic being broadcast on any NBC station is numbered.

I Don't huh. Let Your Pride Go....this is about survival. You and Grambling can move your game to the start of the Season like PV-TX Southern. I also want JSU and Alcorn to do the same thing.
