What's going to happen with Villanova men's basketball and football on the radio

What's going to happen with the Villanova football and men's basketball broadcasts. Will they move to FM, now that WPEN-AM is sold. I don't think that Family Radio wants play by play to be aired on the new format, once it starts
 
950 might still be contracted to air the games. I remember the Oakland Athletics flagship station was sold to Family Radio and they had to air the games on Family Radio for the remainder of that year.
 
WDAS-AM still carries Sunday Phily games in Spanish. 950 could be in the same situation, UNLESS they convert to non-profit.
 
Rutgers is on WOR, WCTC, WRSU, and WIP AM/FM. Of those stations, WOR is the strongest, and it's nice to hear WOR at the away games, even as far as Arkansas.

Villanova could get their games on 97.5 FM, and if there's a conflict, on WMMR.

No way MMR will air Villanova games. Some Flyers games make sense but you're not going to mess with a moneymaker any more than that.

What about IQ 106.9 FM?

Do  you think that 106.9 might wind up airing the games?
 
Does everyone agree with me that Nova football (what's left of the season) and men's basketball will be heard on the FM dial this season?
