  1. UIL & logic never go hand in hand and if these things ever make any sense then we should worry.  Now we know what a lot of the West Texas schools have been doing for years when it comes to long drives.  If you look at Anthony, their shortest trip is about an hour and their longest is about a 4.5 hour drive to Presidio, then they get a couple of short trips of only 3.5 & 4 hours respectfully.  Maybe someone on the committee is from West Texas and just wanted others to feel their pain.
  2. Having been in the Radio biz for over 25 years, it has nothing to do with private vs corporate radio.  It has everything to do with being the contractual rights holder to the broadcast.  KLVI/Clear Channel has the broadcast rights to Lamar University Sports and in order to get those rights, which they bid for every few years and are these rights are not free, they typically must agree to broadcast basketball games like Friday night knowing full well a high school football playoff game would give them better ratings, just part of the deal.  There is a big difference between having a contract to broadcast games like the UT football/basketball games, Astro, Ranger, Cowboys or Texan games and being the rights holder. There is probably nothing that would prevent them from broadcasting the Nederland game on one of their other stations if they so choose, but I suppose they are not choosing to do that, too bad.  Oh well you probably know more now than you ever wanted or cared about when it comes to broadcast rights.  It is an interesting business.
