Tech learned of this possibility several days ago, and according to the source, is "adamantly opposed to playing on the Longhorn Network" and is "putting serious consideration into canceling the game and playing an 11 game schedule" this fall.
"We are extremely disappointed," the source told RRS. "Our hope is that the Texas State game will be played on a primary ESPN platform." http://texastech.rivals.com/content.asp?cid=1377831 |
Coming out now that this was an ESPN decision and wasn't even set in stone. ESPN owns the rights to the game and decides what platform each game will be on. Texas has nothing to do with the decision.
Nice try though.
