The NDSU/SDSU Game on TV.

[Bison"FANatic"]

Can we blame SDSU for this? Honest question. I know they sold a bunch of the rights to Learfield(or hired Learfield to manage their media and promotion if that's the phrase you prefer). If the TV package was part of that(likely), SDSU may no longer have control of decisions like that. That decision is likely solely to be made by Midco.

The situation a few years back was different. There was no contract with Learfield/Midco and no one was going to broadcast the game. Some part of Fox Sports was willing to do it for a fee. SDSU didn't want to pay it. NDSU offered to cover the cost in exchange for the ad space that would have gone to SDSU as part of the deal. SDSU still said no. They claimed it would have put too much stress on their staff as the deal was contingent on moving the kickoff time to mid afternoon and one of the Montanas was coming for a basketball game that night.

Midco is allowing ND NBC to carry and that is actually sets in their area. I don't see them having problems with a national station carrying it. Rabbits just really don't care if it is on nationally.

I'm getting really behind on reading the board lately, so sorry if this was posted somewhere else.

Do we know why Scotty Miller is not doing the game tomorrow? Just heard on the radio(790) that it will be JJ and Phil in the booth and Ryan Gellner on the sidelines.

Family emergency according to the NDSU Broadcasting Twitter feed.

I think I heard on 790 today that his father died.

Condolences to the Miller family.

I'll need to stream the video through my smart phone. I have a decent 4g signal. Is it gonna work or will it be constantly buffering?

I think Midco does a nice job covering our states sports.

F Midco, can't even get on their web site. Any other options besides paying SDSU out there?

[A1pigskin]

Bison offense looking good.

Midco can suck it. Bush league.

I ended up paying.
