Early Pac-12 TV schedule released - Utes land three games on FOX Sports

The Pac-12 has released its initial television schedule for the 2013 season and Utah will play on at least three non-Pac-12 Networks channels.

The Utes are scheduled to appear on FOX Sports 1 three times at the moment - their opener against Utah State, their Homecoming game against Oregon State and a Thursday night showdown against division rival UCLA on October 3rd.

Still, right now anyway, there are no Pac-12 games are scheduled for ESPN, but obviously, that is subject to change depending on their success.

Times were also released for these games. Utah's first game of the season will start at 6:00 Salt Lake time, the Weber game (scheduled for the Pac-12 Network) will be a noon start (yikes), Oregon State is scheduled for 8:00 in the evening, as is the game against UCLA - so, a mix of early and late starts.

Surprised by the schedule? Disappointed at all by it?

For those wondering, FOX Sports 1 is an upcoming sports channel that will replace 'Speed' and is the network's supposed answer to ESPN.
