Division II championship finals in several sports will be broadcast live in the coming weeks on CBS College Sports Network.

The final game of the Division II Men’s Lacrosse Championship will be shown live at noon Eastern Sunday. The next day, the championship game of the Division II Softball Championship will begin at 3 p.m. Eastern.

Then on Saturday, May 30, the final game of the Division II Baseball Championship will be broadcast beginning at noon Eastern.

Division II is in the third year of a partnership with CBS College Sports Network that features live broadcasts of regular-season football and basketball games, along with several Division II championship games.

Next fall, the fourth year of the partnership begins with a six-game regular-season football schedule, starting with Northwest Missouri State, the 2008 runner-up, visiting 2008 Lone Star Conference Champion Abilene Christian on Thursday, August 27, in a rematch of a 2008 quarterfinal game (Northwest Missouri State won that encounter, 45-36). The next Thursday (September 3), Central Washington, a playoff team a year ago, visits defending national champion Minnesota Duluth.
