Topic: HI: C-USA Releases Football TV Package For 2011

[ZackUSAF82]

IRVINE, Texas - Conference USA has released its entire televised schedule for the 2011 season.

This year marks the first year the league has had Fox Sports as its number one network outlet, instead of ESPN.

The league has also signed a deal with Home Town Sports, the marketing and promotional wing for Fox, to try and sell its networks and raise awareness of a conference that is still a bit of an unknown nationally by fans even though the league stretches from El Paso, Texas, north to Huntington, W.Va. and south to Orlando, Fla. with other teams in North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Dallas and Houston, Texas, in addition to El Paso and to Oklahoma.

Marshall University has ten of 12 games slated for some sort of coverage, from its opener at West Virginia on Sunday, Sept. 4, on ESPN to an ESPN3.com game at Ohio University and a local broadcast on WHAS-TV in Louisville. Other games are on C-USA's package, including Fox Sports Net, BrightHouse Networks Sports, CBS Sports Network and CSS, a Comcast cable outlet.

Here is the schedule as released earlier today by C-USA:
