Freaking BTN! What's UP?

[MelroseHawkins]

Why does every other school playing a nobody team every once-in-awhile get the game on the BTN, but Iowa never seems to. Two years in a row, Iowa doesn't seem to have any early season games on the BTN. Guess I'm plugging the laptop into the HD and streaming BTN2Go again.

Iowa Basketball is definitely getting hosed by BTN.

I fuggin hate the Big Ten Network and I mean hate it.

Sometimes "progress" doesn't equal better. The BTN is not better for the fan than the old ESPN+

Hey...last week I got to catch up on my Ohio State - Michigan knowledge since they were on all week. I get OSU, but Michigan has sucked Donkey the last two years. I honestly don't care to have a history lesson on the "Big Game" that wasn't big and hasn't been for a few years now.

At least they should try to be fair about air time per school. They don't even attempt it.

ROKU + Watch ESPN = watch almost any basketball game that you want.

Not with directv and centurylink. BTW, I prefer chromecast...

BTN= big time game not showing. I miss the good ole days of chips and salsa.

 

[nickhawk]

I definitely miss the days of mac mccausland and Larry Morgan doing every game on local CBS station. Also big the Saturday triple header of big 10 basketball on CBS with Mike Gleason - good ole days. BTN is an absolute joke. I swear every single worthless game of Indiana and that d-bag Cream has been on BTN - such garbage.

free online game streaming + Chromecast = TV provider not needed.

 

[PCHawk]

Terrible video - no audio - inability to use chromecast for some incredibly frustrating reason = 1 ****** off fan.

Anyone know why the little box you push to stream chromecast won't come up on big10 2go but it does on watch espn?

It has been happeining from the start with Fran.....

Not certain it is only the Hawks who are being shunned. The big names usually have all their preconference games on The B1G or one of the ESPN channels other that ESPN3.....

That will change perhaps as soon as next year.....

 

[Hawknick]

Complete garbage btn with their anti Iowa bias. Btn2go should at least be improved for better stream quality, less errors and roku compatibility.

The Pac-12 conference has every single football and men's basketball game televised through:

-FOX/FS1
-ABC/ESPNs
-Pac-12 Network

When we negotiate a new contract in a couple years, it needs to be like the Pac-12's. Every game should be on. I'm fine with a joint package with Fox Sports and Disney. It just doesn't make sense for the richest conference to not have every game on television AND streaming, instead of just one.

It's bullcrap especially for the 2013 National runner's up and a 2014 tournament team.

Win and they will come...

The BTN has no bias against Iowa despite what Hawk fans think. It has to do with TV sets. Except for Nebraska, Iowa loses that battle every time. The TV markets trump some butt hurt Iowa fan every time. I don't like it, but it is reality!

That explains why they play OSU or Michigan basketball games instead of ours. But how do you explain how they play woman's volleyball over our basketball games. Or some lame rerun they've played 1000 times?

All that really shouldn't matter anyway because they have alternate channels. Every game should be televised period.
