I'm sorry but as a woman hockey fan I'm outraged. Not televising the women's Frozen Four, where is the Title IX equality in that??? I feel the NCAA should bundle the women's hockey contract with the men's. Whoever buys the men's should have to air the Frozen Four games in the same manner that they do the men's. Let's face it, women's hockey is a growing sport and could benefit from the exposure. Look at how well the Women's World Cup did for Soccer worldwide.

at least it's coming into view...even the USA Russia game was tape delayed for a few hours.
hopefully it wont take 36 years to show it live on a real station

Originally posted by play-by-play guy View PostCBS is scheduled to show the game Sunday at noon central time. The reason for the TV timeouts.
But sometimes, like this weekend, the video is ahead of the audio rather than behind it, which means you can't sync them up. Do you have any idea why the audio was so many seconds behind the video stream this weekend?

And as for the men's USA vs Russia match it was tape delayed on US broadcasting but many in the US watched it live via the CBC.
THANK YOU Canada.

Re: Women's Frozen Four not televised.
I agree 100%, the game should have been on a national TV deal real time not a tape delay.
The MN governor tried to get the NCAA to let a local TV station pick it up but the NCAA contract wouldn't let them.

Re: Women's Frozen Four not televised.
The woman that broadcast the games the last two years may have been the worst broadcaster I have ever heard in my life, including the guy who used to broadcast the high school games when I lived on the Iron Range.
Sunday I noticed a certain preference for one of the teams by the broadcaster. Any chance he's from out east someplace?
I liked the guy (don't remember his name) who did the games with AJ Mleczko. AJ, not so much. I remember her going on and on about UNH winning 200 games in a row (exaggeration duly noted) back in the 70's or something in an attempt perhaps to diminish the Gophers winning 49 in a row after beating BU in 2013. UNH must have beaten a lot of pretty good intramural teams back then.
Even the guy who did the games with AJ butchered the pronunciation of some of the Gopher player's names, though. They all do, except for the Gopher play-by-play guy, of course. He's the best. We tried to listen to him too, on one computer with the sound off on the other, but the difference between the play-by-play and the action was just too great so we gave up. I'll listen to Dan Hamann's broadcast of the games some other time."Everything that rises must converge." Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Re: Women's Frozen Four not televised.
Late to the party is all some of the "Foundation" teams should say in response to your 'Intramural" comment.....for when UNH, Harvard, Northeastern and Brown,and Providence,(that I remember) actually had women playing hockey, the West was some 2 or 3 decades asleep! In fact, Coach Russ McCurdy was known to ask recruits to look at other programs, so as to give the player more ice time, and help build up the other programs.....so maybe it wasn't equal to a Four Nations competition level but to diss UNH because you're upset with AJ dissing the Gophers 49.......DC can give you the first person account......btw, if you want a good female announcer, start with Erica Lawler on the microphone....she does the Buffalo Beauts games and rocks it.....Last edited by zoofer; 03-22-2016, 06:30 AM.
