When will the SBC announce its full TV slate?

Surely, the NORTH TEXAS/Middle Tennessee game will be the first game of that package broadcast. Would we ever understand why it woudn't be?

True, you would think of any SB game...the NT/MTSU would be aired...

I didn't see the UNT/MTSU game listed as a ESPNU game on ESPN...

At this point I'm wondering if Dish Network will carry the station or not.

I am hoping that if any North Texas game is broadcasted via ESPNU, that they are also similcasted on ESPN regional. The subscriber base for ESPNU, especially in the DFW area is pretty small considering that Comcast and Charter I believe don't even have it on their lineups yet. Directv is the only dish network that actually has it on their lineup, but you have to purchase the sports pack which I think is like 10 bucks more a month.
