Updated NU-KSU pay-per-view info

Nebraska vs. Kansas St. Pay-Per-View Information

Nebraska vs. K-State to Kickoff at 6:10 p.m.

Last updated Thursday, Oct. 12 at 10:47 a.m. CT

The Nebraska-Kansas State college football game on Saturday, Oct. 14 will be telecast via pay-per-view on participating cable systems and nationwide to satellite dish customers. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 PM CT from Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan.

Suggested retail price for residential purchase is $29.95. Big 12 Special Order Sports, Fox Sports Net's pay-per-view division, will produce and distribute the telecast. Additional information about how to purchase the telecast is listed below. Updates will be posted on K-Statesports.com, Huskers.com and FOXSports.com (search: Midwest) as they become available.

The game is being televised on pay-per-view because it was not selected for over-the-air broadcast or cable television coverage. Under Conference TV rules, games not picked up for regular television distribution can only be televised live on pay-per-view if during a Conference TV window. Big 12 games scheduled for television on Oct. 14 are: Iowa State at Oklahoma (11:30 AM on FSN), Missouri at Texas A&M (2:30 PM on ABC) and Baylor at Texas (6:00 PM on TBS).

Participating cable and satellite providers will offer the telecast to their customers on a specially designated pay-per-view channel. The telecast will not pre-empt FSN's regularly scheduled programming.

The Nebraska-Kansas State game will be the eighth Nebraska football game distributed on pay-per-view, following: Oct. 12, 2002 vs. Missouri; Oct. 25, 2003 vs. Iowa State; Sept. 4, 2004 vs. Western Illinois; Oct. 2, 2004 vs. Kansas; Sept. 3, 2005 vs. Maine; Oct. 15, 2005 at Baylor; and Sept. 23, 2006 vs. Troy. Nebraska won all seven of those games.

This is the first K-State football game distributed via pay-per-view since the Wildcats 40-6 win over Kansas on Oct. 27, 2001.
