The Pac-12 CEO Group announced a change to television agreements with ESPN and FOX to reduce the number of football games on the Pac-12 Networks starting at 7 p.m. or later. Games can now start at 2:30 p.m. or 6 p.m. local time and overlap with the ESPN or FOX window.
Of course, the late start times and the general chaotic nature of the late-night Pac-12 football games led to the popular #Pac12AfterDark, but fans will likely see the same crazy action and get a few more hours of sleep as well.
It was also announced today that ASU's road contest at University of Texas at San Antonio will kick off on Friday, September 16 at 6:30 PT on ESPN2.

ESports... yes, eSports
The Pac-12 CEO Group gave the Pac-12 Networks permission to host eSports competitions with schools in the conference. Beginning this year, teams from Pac-12 schools will compete in specific games in head-to-head matchups and a tournament that will act as a conference tournament event.
That mean more dominance from ASU's own Real Dream Team, who took home the Heroes of the Dorm title this year. It hasn't been announced which games will be played, but here's to hoping we see some Heroes of the Storm action.
