Lincoln - The <?xml:namespace prefix="st1" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"?>Nebraska-BallState football game on Saturday, Sept. 22 will be telecast via pay-per-view on participating cable systems and nationwide to satellite dish customers.  Kickoff is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. CT from Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.<?xml:namespace prefix="o" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"?>

 

Information about how to purchase the telecast, including a list of participating cable systems and satellite providers, is attached.  It will be updated frequently in the days leading up to the game.  Details will be posted on Huskers.com and FoxSports.com, search: Midwest as they become available.

 

Suggested retail price for residential purchase is $29.95.  Big 12 Special Order Sports, Fox Sports Net’s pay-per-view division, will produce and distribute the telecast.

FSN Nebraska basketball television announcer Greg Sharpe will call the play-by-play alongside former Husker Matt Davison as analyst, with FSN’s Stacy Paetz as sideline reporter.
