Oh No RUTGERS fans........

[MikeO]

NFL NETWORK is saying they WON'T sell the game to local cable companies in NY/NJ. (Like they do with the NFL games they have).

Example, on Thanksgiving.....KC vs Denver. NFL NETWORK sold the game to a local channel in KC and Denver so the hometown markets got to see the game. And they do that each week with the NFL games they have.

NFL NETWORK was quoted today as saying they won't do that with their BOWL GAMES!!!!


P.S........more on Rutgers. Next years OUT OF CONFERENCE schedule will hurt them big time. Army. Buffalo. Navy. Maryland. and a IAA school yet to be announced.

 

[Cool Calm Mike]

That is really annoying.

I guess i'll have to go to a bar and watch.

 

[DonShula84]

That sucks when you cant even watch your teams bowl game.

 

[Ronnie Bass]

Why on earth is it even on the NFL network to begin with?


I got a feeling the network is going to get a TON of bad press for this decision and I wouldn't even be surprised to see Jersey politicians getting in on the outcry.

Trust me, this is NOT going to go over well in the area.

I am sure they'll have the game near Piscataway and on Campus though. Other fans an go to sports bars that have Direct TV.

When do they start with the Notre Dame games, is that 2008 or 2009?
PS

I think Buffalo will be off the schedule after breaking the contract this year to play (I think it was Wisconsin)

I thought Buffalo played Minnesota early in the year, and got romped like 44-0.

2010, in 2010 they'll have a good non-conf sched as they play UNC(who should be good by then) and ND though Schiano will likely be gone by the time those games are played. the link below shows their future scheds:

NFL network does a pretty good job with games, sorry the local market wont get it without dish or directtv but you are right, you could always go to a bar. It is more fun to watch games with others anyway/

They broke a contract with Rutgers and I'm pretty sure it was for Wisconsin, I know Rutgers was P'od!

 

[HysterikiLL]

Um...why is college football on NFL Network?

 

[NJFINSFAN1]

Rutgers football fans hoping to watch their team in the Texas Bowl later this month may be better off going to Manhattan -- the one in Kansas, that is.

Politicians are involved now, but NFL says tough!

But some cable companies are ONLY carrying the 2 bowl games and no other NFL NETWORK programming.

The cable companies and the NFL Network HATE each other!! Man, they just flat out hate each other

I don't know why Time Warner won't carry NFL network. I would pay a couple bucks each month to get it.
