What are the NCAA rules regarding a school and/or conference network and televising high school games


NCAA rule 13.10.3 states:
A member institution shall not permit a prospective student-athlete or a high school, college preparatory school or two-year college coach to appear, be interviewed or otherwise be involved (in person or via film, audio tape or videotape) on:
(a) A radio or television program conducted by the institution’s coach;
(b) A program in which the institution’s coach is participating; or
(c) A program for which a member of the institution’s athletics staff has been instrumental in arranging for the appearance of the prospective student-athlete or coach or related program material.

As it has been explained to me, if the Longhorn Network has no coaches involved in the broadcast and the games are selected by ESPN employees, the LHN can display high school football without violating NCAA rules.
