I know i'm infringing on Mattsarz's territory but I wanted to share this:

Interesting. Would love to know what the windows they have for each Saturday later in the season on each network are.

Is it just me or are there more 12 pm ET windows on ABC this year?

There are. This ESPN release lists 7 games for Noon. Last year there were 6 (9/17 Auburn-Clemson; 9/24 ND-Pitt; 10/8 Oklahoma-Texas; 11/12 Ok.St-Texas Tech and WVU-Cincy split coverage; 11/26 Ohio St-Michigan; 12/3 CUSA Championship). In 2010 there were only 2 tho. 11/27 Michigan-Ohio State and 12/4 Rutgers-WVU

I noticed that BYU only gets 2 games on ESPN this year. So what makes their deal better with ESPN than what one would be as a member of the new BE with a bigger payout? This is why I do NOT want the BE to resign with ESPN. They would underpay us and then only show a small amount of games. Whereas on NBC it's possible that 75% to all BE games would be televised through multiple networks with a bigger payout.

EDIT: I re-checked the original link and it has BYU for 5 games. So I don't know which list is more accurate. Still, for an independent power who has a contract deal with ESPN and only getting less than half of the games televised, that is not that great of a deal.

The amount isn't set . They are guaranteed 3 games a year on ABC/ESPN/ESPN2, one on ESPNU and are guaranteed one exclusive game for BYUTV. They have 6 home games this year. 1 has to be on BYU.TV (vs Weber State), and they have 3 set appearances on BYU. One on Thursday and 2 on Friday. Of the other 2 games, I'd speculate that ESPN/2 would show their game with Oregon State in the last window on 10/13 and then ESPNU would show the game vs Idaho.
