Iowa St. men's basketball to appear on The Longhorn Network

The Longhorn Network, a lightening rod for controversy this Summer and into the early Fall, has announced a 12 game schedule of Texas men's basketball games that will be televised on The Longhorn Network during the 2011-12 basketball season and guess who appears on the schedule? Iowa St.

According to a Press Release from ESPN, The Longhorn Network will televise three Big 12 Conference basketball games, one of them is Iowa State's visit to Austin on January 24, 2012 at 8pm (CT).

The Kansas Athletic Department announced this week that even though their game against Texas will be on The Longhorn Network, however, The Jayhawk Network will televise the game throughout  Kansas and the Kansas City metro using their own announcers and on-screen graphics while picking up the Longhorn Network video feed. It's too early to tell if CTN will do the same for this game.

With the future of the Big 12 Conference in doubt, i'm sure this development won't sit well with Iowa St. fans.
