Game time for the South Carolina – Arkansas football game, scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 3, has been set for 2 p.m. ET (1 p.m. CT) in Fayetteville, it was announced today. There will be no live television coverage of the game.

“We tried everything within our power to make the game available for Gamecock fans including reaching out to the Arkansas Athletic Department to change the time,” said Steve Fink, University of South Carolina Athletics Media Relations Director. “Unfortunately, changing the time was not an option.”

SEC regulations state that if the game is not picked up by networks, an institution may allow one Pay-Per-View telecast during regularly scheduled CBS and Lincoln Financial time windows, an option which South Carolina
exercised for the Vanderbilt game.
