[NU Sports] TV for Miami (OH)

[Jonathan Hodges]

The game may be available on pay-per-view via ESPN's GamePlan, which
is available on most cable networks (including Comcast) as well as on
the internet.  You have to pay a weekly or annual subscription fee,
though (it was $20 for a weekend last year).  I don't know if they
have announced which games will be available yet, though, but their
website is here:
