In a recent press release, the Ivy League announced that it was renewing its national television rights agreement with the NBC Sports Network, previously known as Versus.
Those with an unfortunate addiction to Ivy League sports (we totally exist, all 30 of us) will have more opportunities to get their fix from the comfort of their own room.
The deal says that the NBC Sports Network will televise a minimum of six but no more than 10 games for both basketball and football, and up to four men's lacrosse games. While Columbia won't have any cracks at screen time for lacrosse since it doesn't have a varsity team, it certainly could end up with airtime for football or basketball—especially when you consider who's returning for Light Blue basketball.
The release also guarantees that the network will air "The Game"—the annual football game between Harvard and Yale—in 2012 and 2013. Check out the full press release after the jump.
