If the NFL never resolves it’s issues, Division II football is ready to fill the void. CBS Sports Network announced that it agreed to another six-game television package for 2011.
This is the sixth year that Division II football will be on CBS Sports Network – which serves nearly 100 million U.S. households.
The games will be syndicated for local and regional markets and simulcast on NCAA.com.
“Our partnership with CBS Sports Network has provided a national platform to help us tell the Division II story,” Division II Vice President Mike Racy said. “We have been able to showcase the high-level regular season competition of more than 100 Division II colleges and universities to a national audience.”
Ten teams featured in the packaged games are first-timers. Central Washington and Indiana (Pa.) were the only teams to already have TV exposure. Three of the 12 teams are 2010 NCAA Division II football tournament participants – Bloomsburg (Pa.), Colorado School of Mines and Missouri Western State.
