FYI, ESPN has already scheduled Baylor vs TCU in Prime Time on Black Friday, and as Brandon pointed out, it looked like the only time slot UCF was offered on Black Friday was 11:30 AM or Noon (maybe stuck on ESPNU, CBS Sports, etc...)

Here's a look back at last 2 years of Thanksgiving Prime Time Audiences compared to the UCF/USF Black Friday games (noticed the huge drop in ratings for the Noon Black Friday time slot last year)
