The live NCAA Women's Frozen Four telecasts cap College Sports TV's historic inaugural year of college hockey coverage that featured CSTV Friday Night Hockey, the first live nationally televised men's and women's game of the week package. College Sports TV's 31-game schedule showcased the most prominent intercollegiate hockey programs, including Boston College, Colorado College, Notre Dame, Maine, Michigan, Michigan State, New Hampshire, Boston University, Harvard and others. In addition, College Sports TV's groundbreaking schedule featured live telecasts of the CHA and ECAC men's championships, and also included the Hockey East men's championship.

College Sports TV's unprecedented college hockey coverage extended to its live CSTV Primetime and CSTV Scoreboard studio shows. In addition, College Sports TV's critically acclaimed Coach original series has profiled the legendary Herb Brooks, who led the University of Minnesota to three NCAA championships before guiding the United States to its shocking 1980 "Miracle on Ice" Olympic gold medal, as well as Boston University's Jack Parker, the winningest active Division I college hockey coach.

CSTV is comprised of two primary business units: College Sports TV and CollegeSports.com. College Sports TV televises regular season and championship event coverage from every major collegiate athletic conference, and televises nine NCAA Championships. In addition, the network has a programming and marketing agreement with the U.S. Olympic Committee. CollegeSports.com, the most-trafficked college sports Web site, and its network of 150 official athletic sites for top colleges, universities and athletic associations, are the number one online source for college sports news, information, scores and analysis.

Bevilacqua is a former senior executive with Nike Inc., where he headed the company's successful foray into the college market.
