sorry, didn't know there was that much detail.  But, I suppose the contract was probably at least 6 or 7 hundred pages of drivel.
I assumed if NBC pays the Domers 20 million for the rights to games, NBC can then decide what time and if they even broadcast the game a tall.
It appears the Big 12 and the Sooners didn't have much say with FOX on kickoff times.

The contracts are written with specifics like, "at least 1 game per weak aired on national OTA network" and such.  And now with ESPN+, it would be designated if/when the network partner might move games to streaming.  It's also even more complicated than that, with ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 reverse mirroring available, so that "national" games can still be broadcast regionally when necessary.

And the time slots are all discussed as well, with the conference and schools knowing which time slots are most likely for games of different magnitude.  For example, ABC and Fox currently have 11 AM Central as their "national" timeslot, which is why TX-OU so often falls into that timeslot.

They might "allow" it, but knowing how to DO it with our remote is not obvious at all.  I've memorized the channels I watch, I'm still amazed how many home shopping channels there are, well over 100.  There also must be 100 porn channels (which we don't get, but the titles show up).  How many porn channels does a person "need"?

I often put it on 866 which is classical music at dinner.

I'm pretty sure I did all that, for a few channels, it's work, and the next time the TV came on they were all back.  I have hundreds of channels I do not want, it's easier just to plug in the channel number.

And the wife has a TV in the bedroom with another box.  She has one in her office also but it's antenna only.

on dish you can create custom programing guides and put only the channels you want on them

as an example I have one for movies

Television has long passed film as the premium format.  Over the past fifteen years or so....networks and now streaming services have just been pouring cash into new series.

As for recommendations....I cannot recommend the show 'Patriot' on Amazon Prime enough.  Only got two season due to poor viewership numbers....but I can easily say that it is one of the best written and most unique shows that I've ever watched.
