[Husker] TV scheduling

[todd strong]

No, to me this says: Hey, NU dumped on you late in the game, so we will 
throw out the big carrot that we have to dangle and use our considerable 
weight to help you guys make this happen on this specific date.
Oh, yeah Dave Maggard, don't worry bout ESPN beating down Pederson's door to 
televise Husker games any time soon. Games of any sport!
