"One of our goals every year is to elevate the presence of Fighting Sioux athletics in the local, regional and national media," said UND Director of Athletics Brian Faison. "This year's expanded schedule of live television events and two weekly shows will get Fighting Sioux athletics in front of audiences of millions each week."

The root of all this goes back to the late, GREAT Mr Ralph Engelstad who not only payed for our fantastic hockey arena but had the brilliant foresight to install and establish a cable network a decade ago when the arena was built! UND is where they are today because of that foresight - now it's payind dividends bigtime! Holy crap - 41 events on regional and NATIONAL cable TV? I'm not sure if the U of M even gets that much exposure - well done UND!

The UND Athletic Department and their media partners should be applauded. The coverage in the newspapers and blogs over the past few weeks by Forum Communications has been great and now word today that the Idaho game will be televised on the Midco Sports Network. UND really is enjoying unprecedented coverage. Thanks, to all that make it happen.

Additionally, the Idaho game is available via live video webcast from fightingsioux.com.
