Northern Iowa at Iowa St. will be available online. Not sure re: territorial blackouts (none? Iowa only?)

Also in the last few days Fox College Sports took all of their live national member retained telecasts off their TV schedule (replays will be shown now). Only regional FSN networks will carry them live now.

Live Big 12 FB games through 9/26 have been removed from the FOX College Sports suite of channels. These were FSN simulcasts.

Is ESPN or Fox cracking down on the Big 12 agreement and forcing only state/regional coverage of member retained games? Possibly Cyclones.tv/FCS was in violation in the past years?

Anyone have any info where Matt S. got this info?

I don't see how they could do that given that the Longhorn Network exists and isn't Texas only. The reason for the "Iowa Only" restriction for the Texas game was so Texas fans couldn't subscribe to Cyclones.TV for a month to get that game rather than pushing their cable providers to add the Longhorn network. The schools all get one game for Tier III and they can do whatever they want with it.

Good point. I wondered if Matt S. was just speculating on a potential blackout outside of Iowa?
Although, I have the FCS channels and now I am not happy that I will not be able to see the K State, Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech member retained games live now that FCS has pulled the national coverage.
Denver has Root Sports instead of an FSN channel and they are always showing some regional game like Eastern Washington or Montana instead of carrying Big 12 games. Wonder why they are not simulcasting now? They did so on all Big 12 games last year. Maybe they will simulcast the conference games. Hope so or Cyclone fans on Comcast will be SOL when ISU plays on FSN.

So with Dish and DirecTV you can get all sorts of RSN's. Since there is no longer a national carrier will those games be blacked out? I've had several that were only available in home states. I assumed that was due to FCS.
