Big10 Network

[Brayton]

I'm a recent retired teacher...have lived in Estes Park, Colorado for about 10 years now. I pay a lot to get the Big10 Network out here. All I see is Michigan, Ohio State, and Nebraska reruns. If that crew spends anytime with Hawk coverage, it sounds like they're laboring through it, and it is very minimal to say the least. So far all the FB games have been on Fox1 and now ESPN coming up. I guess I'm frustrated with the larger market bias and feel like I'm getting ripped off. It it wasn't for basketball, I'd cancel these hacks.

I hear ya. But Wanstadt did pick Iowa at #2 in the power rankings this week. I'm sure that frustrated UM, WI, MSU and even Nebraska.

we got that going for us..which is nice.


consider buying a ROKU or Firestick and subscribe to HULU or Youtube TV for $50/ month - cut the cable.

Yep this is pretty typical and been like that for years, even when Michigan was sucking. I'd copy and send this email to anybody at the BIG Network.

When the Hawk games are FS1 / ESPN / whatever, reruns on BTN probably aren't possible, are they?

That's a great point. I'm not sure.

If they're on FS1 they're available because Fox owns 51% of BTN....

Right, I forgot about that (I don't actually have BTN).

Do you know about the non-family telecasts? Can BTN rerun those?

It does suck but it is probably a function of all the 'dead' air time BTN has to fill and the fact of which teams and which team's game replays bring in the most market share.

You would hope that all Big 10 football games would be given the BTN Game in 60 minute replay at least twice a week from Sunday through Friday before the next week's Saturday game action. It seems harder to find as many Iowa game in 60 replays than for the big 3-4 teams
