MAC: Most games are weekday games. Every single MAC game played in November is scheduled on a weekday. Key rivalries are on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Worst time slots I've ever seen. ESPN networks
Sun Belt: Better than the MAC, but several key rivalries on Wednesday night's. ESPN
CUSA: only has a few games scheduled on national tv (espn) Expect most if not all of those to be weekday games. The non-television games should be all Saturday games as should most the regional TV games. Variety of regional networks.
MWC: No Tuesday, Wen or Thursday games. Saw a couple Friday games, and saw a note that some Saturday games could be pushed to Thursday or Friday for TV games on ESPN. Most Saturday games of the non P5 conferences. CBS-SN/ESPN networks
AAC and ACC media contracts owned 100% by ESPN.--expecting a lot of Thursday and Friday night games for both.
BYU: will play most of their home games on Friday nights. ESPN networks
Army:Should be all Saturday games. CBS-SN
UMASS: No national tv means most games will be Saturday. No National TV contract
Big 10-Has announced about 10 Friday night games this season. Fox/ESPN/BTN
PAC: will have several Friday night games. They prefer a Friday night games over Thursday games according to a scheduling announcement. ESPN/Fox/PAC12N
Big 12: Will play a a few Thursday and Friday night games. 2nd most Saturday games of any conference. ESPN/Fox
SEC: will play the fewest weekday games of any conference. CBS/ESPN
Cheers!
For the Belt, here are the home games.
USA - all home games on Saturday
ULL - 1 Thursday night game
Ga State - 2 Thursday night games. But one is on Labor Day weekend vs a FCS, which means Ga State wanted that game
Ga Southern - 1 Thursday night game
App - 1 Thursday night game
Coastal - all home games on Saturday
Texas State - all home games on Saturday
ULM -all home games on Saturday
Ark State - 1 Thursday night home game
Troy - 1 Wednesday night home game
NMSU - all home games on Saturday
Idaho - 1 Thursday night home game on Labor Day against a FCS.
So, 5 teams play all their home games on Saturday . 2 teams play a home game on Thursday by choice. And 6 teams play midweek once.
