We'd know by know if the game were the change dates for TV. It's staying on Saturday because Gillin and Wake knows it'll get picked up by someone, kind of like how Gillin and Miami fought to keep that game on Saturday and were rewarded by a Noon ESPN slot right after Corso put on the head gear.

I think it's staying on Saturday because we don't want our two biggest home games of the year to both be inaccessible for recruits and thousands of out-of-town fans. And because Satt has spent five years trying to rehab our reputation with NC high school coaches, and we don't want to alienate them all in one night by scheduling against them.

We had ESPN pressuring us to move the Miami game to Friday. If that is happening with the Wake game, I've not heard of it. ESPN already has UVa-Boise on that Friday night, so even if we did move the game we'd arguably be the undercard.
