theScore signs U.S. College sports TV deal with Fox

Hadn't seen this before...

“Score viewers are huge fans of college sports, and as part of this deal, they can now look forward to more coverage than ever before, including games featuring powerhouse schools like Oklahoma State, Texas, Oklahoma, Oregon, USC, Stanford and Memphis.” said Score COO Benjie Levy.

The deal also features live hockey coverage of top-flight programs including the University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, University of Denver and the University of North Dakota.

Given the Canadian sports fans’ love for quality ice hockey, the deal features live coverage of top-flight programs including the University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, University of Denver and the University of North Dakota. These schools have produced NHL stars including Jonathan Toews, Phil Kessel, Zach Parise and Thomas Vanek, and feature numerous Canadian players on their current rosters.

If they want Canadian viewers, who are fiercely proud of their successes, show DU, UND and Wisconsin from the west ... the combined list of native Canadians who became top-flight NHL players from those three schools borders on the unbelievable.

It's a sports channel in Canada.

Is it on basic cable in Canada or does it take an additional subscription to watch it?

I just thought it was a web page, I was shocked when I found out that it was a Canadian channel. I am hoping DirecTV will pick it up.

This is great news for me (living in Canada) as I rarely have the opportunity to watch UND's games.

The more I think about this; this is a great idea, potential recruiting tool to either convince the CIS to jump up to NCAA hockey or to entice highly touted kids that don't want to play MJ hockey...
