It doesn't look like it. It isn't on The Score's schedule (although it could be added), TSN has CFL Labour Day Classics and TSN2 has US Open tennis that day. If The Score doesn't pick it up it will be on Super Sports Pak on Rogers/Cogeco and the NCAA package on Bell.
I have the Super Sports Pak so as long as it will be on that I am fine. How do you know it will be though? Does the SSP carry all ESPN games that aren't broadcast elsewhere on Canadian cable?
you have to pay for the whole package (Super Sports Pack) at $29.99 per month... They do not have a pay per package option.
Saturday 9/4, 10:00pm - Washington State @ Oklahoma State on Sportsnet One (on tape delay). It is a FSN broadcast in the US. Not a great matchup, but assuming Sportsnet has rights to FSN games involving Pac-10 teams, they will also get California-USC, Stanford-California, Arizona-Oregon and others.

Yeah they should be showing more CanadaWest than OUA games.
Didn't notice this mentioned in this thread but TV38 (officially WSBK) from Boston carries ACC games as well.

The Score doesn't have a contract to carry Canada West games. Shaw owns exclusive regular season rights to Canada West, The Score has OUA, RDS has Quebec and Eastlink has AUS.
I find it funny that people complain about the lack of Canadian content on Canadian stations, then others turn around and complain about "Ontario garbage" featuring two teams full of Canadians being on over a US college game featuring virtuallly no Canadians. I guess you can't please everybody. I actually like the fact that The Score airs CIS games on Saturday afternoon when they could easily take the cheap way out and buy the 12:00pm package of ESPN games. Its not often that a Canadian network chooses amatuer Canadian sport over a simulcast of a US league/event.

There are so many awesome games this weekend, some already with huge BCS implications (Boise State - Virginia Tech, Oregon State - TCU), it's a shame that we don't get to see them. I'm not really choked at TSN for not picking up all the ESPN stuff, you can see the conflicts in their commitments (a tennis Grand Slam and the CFL makes for a busy weekend) ... but it's unfortunate the Score won't jump on the opportunity to provide content that no one else is and their is a viewership for. Instead of OS-TCU on Saturday night, it's Cabbie Unlimited, Score Today, and WWE replays ... come on.
Radio-Canada is broadcasting CIS-Québec football, not RDS. It starts next Sunday, McGill at Laval.
