XFL signs with FOX and ESPN
Not really directly college sports related, but will have an impact on future TV contracts maybe.
The XFL has signed on with ESPN and FOX to broadcast their games on Saturday and Sunday afternoons starting 2/8/20. They will broadcast a doubleheader starting at 2pm each day on ESPN/ESPN2 and FOX/FS1/FS2.
That's going to put some pressure on those networks scheduling basketball tournaments and spring sports starting next year and will probably mean more of those sports being transferred over to ESPN+. [Post edited by mrcaniac at 05/06/2019 2:07PM]
