I don't doubt that they do it at schools who are playing on another network - they do it all the time. But I guarantee you they are looking for another option, especially one they are planning to broadcast from their own stations.
I'm telling you it doesn't matter. Now does it help? I'm sure it does, but it's not the main thing they are looking for.
They want intrigue, a story, and sometimes something different.
I mean the game they are going to this weekend isn't even on tv.
The network the game is on just doesn't mean as much you think it does.
Like in 1996 when ABC/ESPN mounted a huge Heisman campaign for Charles Woodson because the Big 10 was on ABC and Peyton Manning was on CBS with the SEC. It didn’t matter to Them then either.

They'd do 10 consecutive years of Georgia/Florida before they'd ever come to Memphis.

RE: 10 Reasons College Gameday Should Visit Memphis Nov 2
Chris Fowler posted a cryptic tweet after SMU beat Houston saying basically that SMU winning mattered to his travel plans the following week
Will try and find it
Found it but don’t know how to link it
Mark Giannotto linked John Martin’s Twitter, which showed Fowler’s Instagram Post, which seems to indicate they are coming here. Someone more tech savvy please help
