ABC to add a 12pm game on 12/3...
...due to ESPN2 gaining rights to C-USA championship game. The two games in play (UConn-Cincy, SU-Pitt) will remain 12pm kickoffs. One will air on ESPN, the other on ABC.

Re: why ESPN2 has a C-USA game. ESPN and the conference settled their lawsuit today. Sounds like FOX offered up the rights to the championship game on C-USA's behalf and ESPN will retain rights to the championship game only for the next five years.
