How many ISU/Texas games haven't been broadcast in the past? I can't remember any, but I may be wrong. If this truly is the first then how can people conclude this is not due to the LHN?
As to Colorado, I believe the home team has control if it falls to third tier, and I seem to recall that they denied us the ability to broadcast the games.
The home team does not have a say if it goes to the third tier....theoritically. I suppose they could conspire with espn... If it is third tier they cannot keep us from carrying it if we want to broadcast it also.
