Horizon League Commissioner Jon LeCrone never envisioned himself getting into the television business. But that
changed in 2004 when he saw a Butler University women’s basketball game being aired on a laptop computer.
Local TV station WNDY Channel 23 announced Friday that it will broadcast 13 Butler University men’s basketball games this
season, starting with the Bulldogs’ Nov. 21 game at the University of Evansville.
The league that includes Butler University recently extended its sponsorship deal with the U.S. Army through the
2009-2010 academic year.
Butler University is running with the big dogs these days in men’s NCAA Division I college basketball–at least on the court.
Financially, though, the Bulldogs face a difficult dilemma in chasing after programs with bigger budgetary bones.
