Title: Texas A&M Goes to NCAA Over Longhorn Network Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 01, 2011, 11:17:40 AM Well, if possible, the rivalry just got a lot hotter.
Texas A&M is urging the NCAA to use a 17-year-old rules interpretation that it believes would keep the Longhorn Network from airing high school games. CBSSports.com obtained documents that show A&M wants TLN classified as an "institutional publication", per bylaw 11.2.3.4, which would make it an "athletics representative of the institution." The 1994 interpretation dealt most mostly with what was, at the time, an explosion among specialty print publications. Several newsletters, magazines and weeklies sprung up in the 1990s that covered individual schools' sports. Several of those publications reported recruiting news in varying degrees as part of their coverage. http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6270202/31025781 Title: Re: Texas A&M Goes to NCAA Over Longhorn Network Post by: PCRammer on August 01, 2011, 01:05:49 PM I have a good freind that is a T Tech grad and he usually discounts everything and I mean EVERYTHING the aggies do and defends Texas a bit (mostly because of how much the Aggies hate the 'horns). But he is actually on board with what the Aggies are doing in regards to this topic.
