Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


2007 Schedule Update: TCU, Rice Games Set + New TV Deal

Just announced: Big 12 sports has announced that Fox Sports Net has agreed to sublicense a handful of Big 12 football game to the Versus television network. (Hat Tip and welcome back to 12th Manchild).

This is not to replace games on FSN - it's only to show them on a "national" network, as well. Good news if you're not in the FSN SW area and you're one of the eleven people with Versus.

More relevant to Texas: the press release includes some start times for Texas games.

September 8, vs TCU: 6:00 p.m. - TV: FSN and Versus
September 22, vs Rice: 6:00 p.m. - TV: FSN and Versus

Good to know.

versus

I like the versus network.  I get it on my dish network.  I've been watching them lately for the America's Cup coverage.  As I understand it they will just be re broadcasting not actually covering it themselves?  but they do a good job.

Versus broadcasts MWC games.

Which doesn't matter, since it looks like this will just be a FSN feed and not a game actually broadcast by Versus.

No Texas games (as of now)?

Looks like (from the Big 12 site) that the only game scheduled on Versus right now is Iowa @ Iowa State on Sept. 15.
