GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The University of North Dakota Athletics Department is pleased to announce that Midcontinent Communications and FOX College Sports (FCS) have reached agreement on a four-year contract that will enable FCS to provide live telecasts of UND football, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s volleyball and women’s hockey.
FCS will air all Midco Sports Network-produced telecasts of the aforementioned sports for the duration of the current contract between Midcontinent Communications and UND Athletics, which runs through the 2016-17 season. However, the contract will be subject to Big Sky Conference television regulations and contractual obligations with ROOT Sports. The Seattle-based DIRECTV Sports Network is a wholly owned subsidiary of DIRECTV and operates three regional sports networks branded ROOT Sports.

The 2013-14 UND Sports Extra Show will air each Wednesday at 6 p.m.
(Oct. 23-April 2)





Now we need to get our football team back up to par like our basketball and volleyball teams are.

Darrell, I'm sure you're disheveled because of UND's record, but why are posting UND's basketball schedule on AGS?

It was part of the article I forgot to chop it. But it does say they will televise UND football for the next 4 years.

Because I was here before you.

The original post was a list of Hockey and Volleyball games.

So, is it just the UND games, or will the South Dakotas be a part of this too? I would be very confused if they signed a contract with Midco and only got games from one of the three teams they broadcast.

I am not sure if they signed an extention with SDSU and USD.
