The Nebraska-Troy college football game on Saturday, Sept. 23 will be telecast via pay-per-view on participating cable systems and nationwide to satellite dish customers. Big 12 Special Order Sports, Fox Sports Net’s pay-per-view division, will produce and distribute the telecast.
Suggested retail price for residential purchase is $29.95 for the 6:00 PM CT kickoff from Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. A list of cable and satellite providers that have agreed to offer the pay-per-view telecast is below. Additional providers may be announced later this week. Further details will be posted on Huskers.com and FOXSports.com (search: Midwest) as they become available.
The game is being televised on pay-per-view because it was not selected for over-the-air broadcast or cable television coverage. Under Conference TV rules, games not picked up for regular television distribution can only be televised live on pay-per-view if during a Conference TV window.
Participating cable and satellite providers will offer the telecast to their customers on a specially designated pay-per-view channel. The telecast will not pre-empt FSN’s regularly scheduled programming.
FSN’s Nebraska basketball announcer Greg Sharpe calls the play-by-play, alongside former Husker Matt Davison as analyst and FSN’s Dan McLaughlin as sideline reporter.
The Nebraska-Troy telecast will be the seventh Nebraska football game distributed on pay-per-view, following: Oct. 12, 2002 vs. Missouri; Oct. 25, 2003 vs. Iowa State; Sept. 4, 2004 vs. Western Illinois; Oct. 2, 2004 vs. Kansas; Sept. 3, 2005 vs. Maine; and Oct. 15, 2005 at Baylor. Nebraska won all six of those games.
