How It's Used

“But if you're into that BCS stuff, there is the SEC championship game with Alabama and Florida at 1 p.m. on Channel 2 and the Big 12 championship game with Missouri and Oklahoma at 5 on Channel 7. If you're into blowouts and bragging (Trojans), or wishing you could trade your most prized possessions for an upset (Bruins), then it's USC-UCLA at 1:30 on Channel 7.”

—Dian Pucin, “Broadcasting adds an extra dimension: Chargers-Raiders game goes off with only minor glitches in 3-D,” The Los Angeles Times, 5 Dec 08.

"The Big 12 has eliminated the majority of its coaches' meetings and instead will hold them via teleconference, saving schools the travel costs, Big 12 spokesman Bob Burda said."

—Tom Coyne, "Colleges seek to cut costs in tough times," The Washington Post, 13 Jul 09.
