PULLMAN, Wash. – The opening football game of the Washington State University season will be shown for free at 7 p.m. Thursday on the big screens at Beasley Coliseum.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. No concessions will be available.
A public statement by the satellite service provider Dish TV, available online at DishSportsValue.com, indicates Dish no longer expects to carry the Fox Sports 1 broadcast of the WSU vs. Rutgers game as originally planned because of an unresolved financial dispute between the satellite provider and Fox Sports 1.
The game against Rutgers is being played in Seattle. Find more from WSU Athletics at http://www.wsucougars.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=30400&ATCLID=209612890.

Note: At 1 p.m. Wed., Aug. 27, the Seattle Times reported an agreement has now been reached between Fox Sports and Dish Network, removing a planned blackout of four college football games this weekend, including the Washington State-Rutgers game Thursday night at CenturyLink Field, a Pac-12 spokesman said Wednesday morning.
