Dear Zags Fan:
Thank you for contacting us regarding the Gonzaga vs. Idaho basketball game on Tuesday, November 18.
It appears there was an unfortunate miscommunication in listing the game as being available on Fox College Sports. Unfortunately, Fox no longer has the right to televise Gonzaga basketball outside of the school’s home market as the university sold those rights to ESPN. Once we learned of the listings error, there was no time to correct it.
For the availability of future Gonzaga telecasts, you will need to contact the university or ESPN.
We apologize for the confusion, and we appreciate your continued support of Fox College Sports.
Good luck this season and best regards,
Scott Grogin

Wow, seriously Gonzaga? Did anyone think that it might not be a good idea to take games off the air? I mean, I know we wouldn't want, I dunno, potential recruits from say, California, to be exposed to the Zags brand, right? That would be foolish. It's not like we'd want guys like Austin Daye to be able to watch the Zags play.
I'm hoping there is a business decision here that I'm not understanding, but this seems like a catastrophic F-up. Please, someone explain.
