I would assume that CSS will replay it. I'm pretty sure that did with the Ohio game last year.
I think the UTAD finally realized how few people can get CSS outside the immediate viewing area. It's been on SportSouth for at least the last few years, opening access to at least an additional 18.5 millionDirecTV subscriberspotential Vol fans.
Yeah, that was part of it. At the same time, UT signed a massive sponsorship deal with Dish Networks, whose founder and president is a UT alum and huge booster. Comcast only makes CSS available, for now, on cable. Didn't make a whole lot of sense to encourage Vol fans to get Dish Network, then have your replays and coaches' shows on a network that wasn't on it.
SportSouth also had a bigger wheelbarrow full of cash. That helped too.
