Cornell vs OSU on TV?

It's one of the games NOT listed on USCHO for being televised. The Minny Maine game is. During the selection show, there was a stream that kept saying...all games available on ESPN U or ESPN affiliates. Anyone have any ideas or any info on that yet?

For what that's worth, ESPN-U is scheduled to show the Cornell game tape-delayed at 12:30 in the morning.

Do the various Fox sports affiliates typically pick up the early tourney games even though ESPN has the rights? I'm hoping so because it seems like ESPN-U isn't widely available yet.

No.

If a local affiliate in Columbus, OH will air the game, there's always a road trip there for the telecast. And then of course wait two weeks for the FF.

They have in the past, but there was no ESPN-U in the past. We should know shortly, I'd think.

First they send us out west, and then we take it up the ass again by not being able to watch the first round game on TV. Fuckers.

Hey, let's see what happens. I'm sure that it will be picked up in some markets.

Any way we could pester them like we did for CSTV?

no joy pestering espnu. The game isnt on because there is another game scheduled at the same time that they are showing.

THey have the second round Grand Rapids game on instead....
Wisconsin/Michigan vs. Colgate/CC Mar. 26 5:00 ET

ESPN will syndicate the NCAA tournament regional games. In a few days, we'll know how many regional sports networks will show the Cornell-Ohio State game. There should not be any difficulty finding live tv coverage of the game.

When, down the road, ESPN-U retains exclusive braodcasting rights, this will be a different story. For now, other stations can broadcast the games.

If Michigan wins against Wisconsin I bet we are hosed. Most likely syndication partner would be fox detroit, and they'd show Michigan-whoever over OSU Cornell. MAybe the cable company will pick it up for ithaca, but I bet everyone else gets hosed.

It's now time to start pestering Time Warner to settle their rift with Fox Sports so we can get the regional FSN channels again. That's the best bet for Time Warner subscribers of seeing regional games if one doesn't live in a city with a tournament team and if one doesn't have directTV.

I've been teetering on the edge of going to direct TV for a while now...It's actualy cheaper for me than Cable anyway....this may be the topper.

I have 6 ESPNs and 7 ESPN PPV stations and no stinkin' ESPN U.

Well ESPN U!

Since TW is shafting us with the MSG Fox feud couldn't they give us ESPN U??

There's the benefit of having no NHL...

so maybe i should tell time warner to buy adelphia already. or maybe this is a good time to go to satellite? granted i wont be home to watch the game, probably, saturday but for the future. plus it is cheaper! we shall see. empire sports is gone now so for me in buffalo i have to hope for fox sports net or one of the other nyc channels to pick up the game. we shall see!
LGR!

Another way we got scrooged: we get Bob Kurtz (?) and some other color guy I have never heard of while the other regionals have the likes of Barry Melrose, Gary Thorne, and Panger calling their games...just one more thing to shake my head about.

Somebody on the uscho boards said that ESPN does not have exclusive rights to the games. More specifically, local networks will pick up the ESPN feeds much the way Empire and NESN broadcasts were picked up locally in the past.

I dont think thats totally correct.. ESPN has the rights, but they choose not to show all the games and then sell off the games they dont want.. its much like f-ball where ABC/CBS/ESPN have first rights to most important games and then the leftovers fall of to local tv or other regional networks.

Some info about the team working at the West Regional from a Yahoo! search.

The USCHO page currently is messed up, showing the tv channels for Minn vs. Notre Dame??

It has both Western semifinals listed, but the teams are entirely wrong. Anyone know what's up with that? and when we can expect it to be accurate so we can actually start our bitching (if necessary)?

It's the 2004 schedule.

Since it can't hurt, if you want, ESPN has a feedback link about programming at:

Nothing ESPNU specific, but it says all ESPN networks.
