There is no such thing as "college football from a single source."

Depending on the team, they make individual TV contracts with different networks for each individual game of their schedule.

Some are on a regional sports channel like B1G, some are on ESPN's fleet of channels, some are on Fox Sports, some are on broadcast network, and some are on obscure streaming channels like Peacock. And a single team may have one or more of their games on each of those services, so this week it may be BiG, next week it may be Peacock, and the game after that may be NBC.

There is no college equivalent to the NFL's Red Zone.

Sometimes if you are looking to follow just a single team, they may have a streaming service you can subscribe to, and that would be a convenient source for all of their games.

It sure is a different world, from the world of NBC, ABC, and CBS isn’t it?

A question.

I watched the Washington State vs Wisconsin game Sat.

It was ESPN on an LA broadcast channel.

There were LOTS of commercials. I cannot imagine that it takes that long to change possession after a 4th down failure for example.

Not just during time outs, or quarter changes, or kickoffs, but during what should have been short pauses.

Does the broadcast contract allow stopping the game to stuff in all these commercials?

PS the ESPN commenter/announcers were full of themselves.
