The Sicatoka Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Lost in the recent events capturing the attention of UND fans is this: http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=103096 I guess I knew Learfield was involved in licensing for UND (via Learfield Licensing), but it seems Learfield is on track to (has?) taken over "UND Athletics’ exclusive multimedia rights": http://learfieldsports.com/university-partners/und-sports-properties/ And now per Schlossman that seems to include radio. The smartest thing they could do is, as Schlossman says, get Tim Hennessy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Who does Learfield Sports work with today? Well, dare I say most of the big conferences: the Big West, the Big Sky, the Big 12, the Big Ten. http://learfieldsports.com/university-partners/http://learfieldsports.com/university-partners/ One more thought, at random: Learfield and SiriuxXM have agreements for broadcasting.

westsidesioux Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I think that Learfield does a pretty good job of working with the universities to make sure that the correct voice is going out over the air...I have no doubt that TH will continue to grace the air waves.

Cratter Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 To add what I mentioned earlier. Brad mentioned it won't affect Jack Michaels. And I would doubt he's already signed with learfield but not rolstad and hennessey? That's why it appears to be a different situation with some and not others?

siouxkid12 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Does UND have to pay Learfield or is it the other way around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 The Hennessy question was answered correctly. http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=103170 It seems that Learfield has recently bought out SME (the company doing the rebranding of UND Athletics). http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/23239-learfield-acquires-sme/#comment-872223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
