Next up is away at UMass on Wednesday, November 4, kickoff at 7:00 pm ET, on ESPNU.
College football rights follow the conference rather than the school: SEC games sit with ABC, ESPN and SEC Network, Big Ten games with FOX, CBS, NBC, Peacock and BTN, and ACC games across ESPN's networks. The carrier depends on who a team is playing that week, not just who they are.
