The Big 12 has released the start times and TV schedule for the first three weeks of the season, and the matchup between Ole Miss and Texas on Sept. 14 has been scheduled for a 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. local) kickoff on the Longhorn Network.
Showcasing the Longhorns’ biggest out-of-conference game on a network with extremely small viewership is an interesting move, and probably one designed to try to exert pressure on cable networks to add the channel to their selection. Maybe there’s something else going on that day that would be easier to watch:
Are there any other games on September 14th in the state of Texas?

West Virginia and Oklahoma will play the next weekend on FOX at 7 p.m, and a week later, Iowa and Iowa State will battle for the Cy-Hawk Trophy on the new Fox Sports 1, with kickoff scheduled for 6 p.m.
