2017 Swac Football TV Schedule?

[K_Rigs]

Anyone know of any update regarding the 2017 Swac Football TV Schedule? Along with any updates regarding the Swac Digital Network's schedule?

Highly doubt anything will air on SDN anytime soon.

I saw the MEAC dropped their schedule so I was expecting/expect the SWAC to do the same soon

Highly doubt anything will air on SDN anytime soon.

Why? Because I recall them showing GSU vs Alcorn and SU vs PVAMU last season.

Same here.

Because the conference is BROKE.

Jackson State at TCU - Fox Sports Network
Mississippi Valley at North Dakota State - ESPN3
Grambling at Tulane - ESPN3

I knew our game against NDSU was on ESPN3 but not the SIU game.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the Grambling game is the one moved to Thursday night.

 

[TexasTerror]

Surprisingly absent... FAMU and Texas Southern.

Don't they have to be on national TV in order to play during Week Zero?

Yes, I saw a tweet from Craig Haley saying that he was contacting FAMU to see if they secured a TV deal yet...

FCS STATS just tweeted, "Kickoff (6 p.m. ET) is announced for @TXSOTigers at @FAMUAthletics on Aug 26, but necessary national TV for early opener still not announced"

Another one of those 'TV guys' that tracks TV games and networks said he contacted TxSo and FAMU. Got nothing. Based on current TV slots for CFB, it looks like ESPN2 could be an option, but I'm just looking at CFB and ESPN2 may have another commitment (non-CFB). You got JaxSt-Chatty on ESPN, Cal Poly-Colgate on ESPNU at that time.

 

[2kool]

Surely they've secured a deal and are just sitting on the announcement due to short manpower or incompetence....right?

 

[In_The_662]

So still no official TV schedule from the SWAC yet?

Our first two games are on ESPN3 for sure.

Most likely incompetence, but will use the "short on personnel" excuse.

Ain't nobody absent...you just have to pay attention.

Oh well, I guess we should cancel the game.

For Grambling

Sep 2- Grambing at Tulane ESPN3
Sep 9th-Northwestern at Grambling ESPN
Nov 25-Southern vs Grambling State (Bayou Classic) - NBC Sports

 

[In_The_662]

The TV schedule last year came out on 6/20/2016.

The only thing really missing is the SWAC releasing the conference games that will be on ESPNU.

 

[Normal1875]

Our first 3 games will be on tv

Our first 3 games will be on tv

I saw advertisement for the AAMU VS UAB game on Stadium TV. If anyone has ROKU, it can be caught on the Pluto TV app or the Twitter app. I have a 4K TV and the picture looks really nice.
