ESPN2 - Pop Warner Football
ESPNU - Wichita State at Detroit Mercy MBB game, as well as Women's College Volleyball Playoff Matches from 4pm-11pm.
ESPN Classic - Full day of reruns of various documentaries. They also had full days of reruns on 11/26 and 12/6 for the previous rounds.

I don't know about you, but I question whether some of these games will bring higher ratings than a college football game would, especially on a weekend when they only game at the FBS level is the Army/Navy game that isn't even on an ESPN network. Why pick up the rights to broadcast something and then fail to broadcast it?

So you're saying they are airing the playoffs on ESPN2?

Well I'm watching Coastal and NDSU right now on ESPN...so not sure what your point is.

It's just a shame that Villanova has no atmosphere at all. I can't believe after all these years nobody has stolen Andy Talley away from them. Talk about a guy doing more with less. At this point he's probably considered "too old" but how that guy never got FBS looks with what he has to sell is beyond me.
