It is the AAC and UConn. My guess is that the Longhorn network paid a substantial fee to buy the rights to show the game.

They have a pay per view option? If true, that would be great because I don't

No. No. No. I'd have been their first customer. Non-Subscribers don't get ESPN

Wait, wait, wait. The LHN got rebroadcast rights to this game and we didn't?

It tells me there's going to be demand for it in Texas leading up to the game...

Does this mean I can't watch it free on WatchESPN on replay?

Pretty sure you'll be able to if you have ESPN3 access.

ESPN gave LHN that right to rebroadcast BYU-UCONN

It wasn't ESPN that gave the rights

And ESPN said to LHN sure, yes show case BYU vs UCONN

Heinz57

8/29/14 9:41am

The question is still "why"? Why would LHN pay for the rights?

Marking Time

Because Texas doesn't know what to do with their $150 million budget?
