CHICAGO – A pair of conference games have been added to Conference USA’s national television schedule for the 2002 football season, the league office announced today. The Cincinnati at Louisville game will air on ESPN at 7:30 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 7 and the Cincinnati at East Carolina contest will be shown on ESPN 2 at 7:00 p.m. EST on Friday, December 6.

In order to accomodate the ESPN schedule, both games were moved from their originally schedule dates. The Cincinnati-Louisville matchup was moved up two days from its originally scheduled date of Saturday, November 9, while the Cincinnati-East Carolina game was scheduled for Saturday, November 2, but will now close out C-USA’s 2002 schedule of league games.

The addition of these two games to Conference USA’s schedule gives the league a minimum of 23 telecasts for the upcoming season. Included are eight games scheduled to air on ESPN and nine to be shown on ESPN 2.

Additional Conference USA football television exposures remain a possibility. Any additional telecasts will be released as soon as they are finalized.
