Just spoke to a lady at Woodrow's she said "if they would let someone else air it other than stupid CST"

She did say that their management has been e-mailing ESPN and Fox Sports to see about also picking it up. Even if it is streamed on ESPN3, she said they would find a way to air it on the TV's. I told her I would check back tomorrow.

People need to understand the process: once ESPN made the decision NOT to carry the L.A. regional, the NCAA then opened it up for bids from television entities who were interested in carrying the broadcasts. Obviously CST bid on the rights to the L.A. regional and I'm sure CST's was the ONLY bid the NCAA received. It's not like the NCAA just came out and GAVE the regional to CST. It's certainly not LSU's fault - they had no say in the matter whatsoever. And the NCAA simply accepted the one bid it received. My guess is that the only reason ESPN decided not to carry the L.A. regional is because of the facility at UCLA. It's definitely not TV-friendly.
