Midco Sports Network has secured a 6-year agreement with Jackrabbit Sports Properties. This includes the live broadcasts, as well as weekly shows featuring game analysis, interviews and reporting with several of the coaches of the Jackrabbit athletic program.

“We’re pleased to partner with Midco Sports Network for our South Dakota State broadcasts and programming, knowing it will increase and provide extended viewership of Jackrabbit athletic events across the upper Midwest,” said Jackrabbit Sports Properties’ General Manager Brad Poe.

The broadcast schedule is being finalized and will be available on or around August 1, Powell said.
