Butler University / TV & Radio

I was just reading the story in the Indy Star about Butler's TV coverage for the rest of the season, and was wondering if Butler made it's radio broadcast available for barter (the school just likes coverage), how much interest would some stations have in it? Could they capitalize with maybe a station in Fort Wayne and Northwest Indiana? Plenty of alums scattered across the metro areas of the state. Obviously they wouldn't have a vast network, but maybe 5 or less stations?
 
We carry Butler games on our AM and FM in Connersville and Rushville. I also believe the station in New Castle does too. Don't know the business details but they do have a small network of radio stations started.

Ya know I doubt that any station in Fort Wayne would pick up Butler games...I have a hard enough time getting Notre Dame games, even though they're on 1450AM here (at least football is, don't know about ND's hoops;) in my opinion this area is too much IU/Purdue/Notre Dame/Ball St. and anybody else would get swept under the rug. I don't doubt that there is a Butler following around Fort Wayne, but getting air time would probably be a hard sell.
