A couple of football-related notes:
1. Fox Sports Arizona will televise the Division I, II and III title games on Nov. 24, which necessitates a time change for the Division I game at University of Phoeniix Stadium. It will now begin at 12:07 p.m. instead of 1:07 p.m.
The Division II and III games at Sun Devil Stadium will begin at 3:07 p.m. (Division III) and 7:07 p.m. (Division II). The channels for those games will be determined shortly.
2. The AIA’s football advisory committee has ruled on the 44 appeals made by programs throughout the state. The following are the results but remember, schools that were denied their appeal can appeal that decision to the AIA’s excutive board.
