A Dartmouth release yesterday added the Oct. 12 Homecoming game against Yale to the Big Green football TV schedule for 2013. Like Saturday's contest against Holy Cross, the game will be carried nationally on the Fox College Sports Network. The Nov. 9 game in Hanover against Cornell will be carried on the NBCSports Network.The good news is that if your cable/satellite system carries those stations you can watch the games. The bad news is some of us don't have that level of package. ;-(
The TV broadcasts necessitate changes in the Big Green Insider video stream of the games. From the release:
Due to broadcasting rights, Dartmouth will not be able to offer live streams of these games over the Big Green Insider through the Ivy Digital Network. The Holy Cross and Yale games will be available on-demand on the Big Green Insider 24 hours after the initial broadcast. The Cornell game on NBC will be available 7 days after the broadcast. We regret any inconvenience that this may cause our Big Green Insider/Ivy Digital Network subscribers and hope that you will be able to access the live television broadcasts. The national television exposure for our football program is invaluable in recruiting future generations of Dartmouth football players.
