Texas Tech may cancel game against Texas State due to LHN

by Travis Normand

Texas State is scheduled to play a home game against Texas Tech during the 2012 season.  Being that Texas State is the home team, it is up to their conference (WAC) to “okay” the television affiliate that will air the game on TV.  The WAC doesn’t necessarily get to pick which station will air the game, but they are the ones who give the green-light to whatever station picks the game up. 

In other words, once an affiliate or TV station selects the game for broadcast, the WAC can either go with that station or opt for no television at all.  On the other hand, Texas Tech is simply along for the ride, as they are the visiting team.

Enjoy.
