HOUSTON (FOX 26) - Dr. Charles McClelland has had a grand vision for Texas Southern athletics from the time he took over as the school's Athletic Director in April 2008.
On Monday, the program took a giant step forward with a historic TV deal. Texas Southern announced that at least four of its football games (probably five) will be broadcast live this season on ROOT Sports Southwest. It's TSU football's first-ever live television broadcast deal with a regional sports network.
"It's so big that I don't know how to put it into words," McClelland said. "In order to have a successful football program, you have to have television coverage. This is the first time that we're going to be able to deliver that, so as Texas Southern continues to move forward, this is going to be another key component in order for us to continue to increase our overall level of competitiveness."
