Coyotes to be seen nationally
The California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) will gain some national television exposure this weekend when Saturday's men's basketball game between Cal State L.A. and Cal State San Bernardino will be televised live by CBS College Sports Network beginning at 5:30 p.m.
CBS College Sports Network is available on various cable and satellite providers throughout the country. Charlie Neal and Roland Williams will provide the play-by-play and analysis.
"This will be a great opportunity for Cal State L.A. and Cal State San Bernardino to showcase their programs," California Collegiate Athletic Association Commissioner Robert J. Hiegert said. "The CCAA has a rich basketball tradition and having a nationally-televised game will provide exposure to the conference and its member institutions. People tuning into the broadcast from around the country will have an opportunity to see the high caliber of play that the CCAA is recognized for at the Division II level."
This is the third year of the television agreement between Division II and CBS Sports Network (formerly CSTV).
"Our partnership with CBS College Sports has been a successful and productive Division II initiative," said Mike Racy, vice-president of NCAA Division II. "We are able to provide national exposure for the student-athletes and their institutions while also providing viewers a unique glimpse into the division and the way we balance academics and athletics excellence."
The Cal State L.A.-Cal State San Bernardino showdown will be one of five men's NCAA Division II broadcasts, which will began on Jan. 3 with Chaminade at Dixie State. After the Golden Eagles and Coyotes on Jan. 31, Colorado Christian will be at Metro State on Feb. 14, Northwest Missouri State will be at Central Missouri on Feb. 21 and Wheeling Jesuit will be at West Liberty State on Feb. 28.
In addition, four women's games will also be broadcast. Florida Southern was at Barry on Jan. 10, East Stroudsburg was at Shippensburg on Jan. 17, Incarnate Word was at Saint Mary's (Texas) on Jan. 24 and Northwest Nazarene will be at Seattle Pacific on Feb. 7.
The games will also be syndicated through regional sports networks and made available via broadband at www.ncaa.org.
"NCAA Division II basketball has been a staple of our strategy to serve fans at every level," said Tim Pernetti, executive vice-president for content at CBS College Sports Network. "Our partnership with the NCAA continues to thrive on many fronts, providing a well-deserved national showcase for NCAA Division II athletics and some memorable moments on the CBS College Sports Network."
In addition, the women's game between Cal State L.A. and Cal State San Bernardino will be moved from the normal 5:30 p.m. start time to 8 p.m.
The two teams met earlier this season and Cal State San Bernardino pulled out a 73-70 overtime victory in Los Angeles.
