Football has become a year-round sport and ESPN is helping its exposure.

Fortunately, the worldwide leader in sports is airing 21 games through the month of April to feed your need.

A notable game on this list is at the very top, South Carolina on April 1. That game was originally scheduled for 2:00 p.m., but coaches decided to move the game to noon so that the players wouldn’t miss the improbable Final Four appearance by the Gamecocks basketball team.
Meanwhile, a notable omission from the spring schedule is the University of Miami. Both Florida and Florida State will air on ESPN, while the Hurricanes’ game on April 16 won’t appear on the marquee sports network.
It appears the Hurricanes have some catching up to do in the ever-intense battle for Florida.
