UF-Troy game on Pay-Per-View
GAINESVILLE - The Florida vs. Troy game on Sept. 8 will be televised live, at 6 p.m., on Pay-Per-View.
Per Southeastern Conference television contracts, when an SEC team does not have its game selected by CBS, ESPN or Lincoln Financial, it is permitted to televise that game live on a statewide basis only on
pay-per-view. Therefore, Sun Sports cannot air these games live on the network, but can make them available to cable/satellite systems and commercial establishments to deliver via pay-per-view.
The University Athletic Association donates proceeds from the PPV telecasts to the UF Libraries. Since 1992, the UAA has donated approximately $1 million to the UF Libraries and hurricane relief efforts through these telecasts.
The live PPV airing will be in addition to Sun Sports' taped presentation of the game airing during the network's Sunday morning edition of BREAKFAST WITH THE GATORS beginning at 8:30am and again
Tuesday night at 11:00pm. telecasts to the UF Libraries.
If you bleed orange and blue, this blog is for you. The Gator Report is written by Florida beatwriter Antonya English and the staff of the St. Petersburg Times. We invite your comments and participation.
