My sister just called & told me the game this Friday night will be on ESPNU. 7pm Eastern 6 Central. Has anyone else heard this ?
 
Yeah, I believe the game is on at 6:00 PM (ET), so that would be 5:00 PM (CT). And yes, it is on ESPNU.
 
Yeah, I looked on UKathletics, ESPN.com, Wikipedia, Si.com, CBSSports, Catsillustrated, etc...yeah I agree OP, on ESPNU, but I think at 5CT.
 
Can someone explain to me why the SEC network didn't show the first exhibition game? November 14th is a Saturday so obviously they are filled up with football content. But the Ottawa game would have gotten better ratings then whatever they were showing. I'm sure the explanation has something to do with Tier 3 rights but i'm curious why it wasn't shown or if UK had the exclusive rights why they didn't relinquish them to the SEC network???

You'd have to ask them. Probably combination of broadcast costs, commercial sales, previous commitment, available equipment/employees, and maybe just wanting exposure on their streaming content. Streaming is becoming huge these days and you're only going to see it more so we need to get used to it.
