Well it looks like BTN is covering two games at the same time. But the correct info <deleted>

Good question I was wondering this myself. Will they use the big ten network Alt channels. Maybe like you suggest another network is going to cover the game. I do see the Iowa game is being rebroadcast on the BTN later in the evening. This may indicate that the one of the games will be on a BTN alt channel. I just hope I will be able to see the game live somewhere on DISH tv.
 
My directv guide says that Penn State will be on the main BTN and Iowa will be on the BTN alternate channel. Shows FS1 has baseball at that time.

I just checked the BTN alt channels and it is showing on DISH network that the Iowa game will be available on the Alt channel 405-2 and on the their Alt High definition channel. It was not showing that Wednesday night when I checked it.
 
Its on BTN. Confirmed.

Well when I had ATT they had other extra 'overflow' channels to carry concurrent BT games

In my infinite wisdom I've gone to HULU and from what I see there is just one BTN. And these streaming channels are like a lot of websites - no customer service at all. Maybe it will show up on game day but I doubt it.

Last time I tried that, HULU was not considered a provider like ATT, TimeWarner etc. Thanks. I'll look again.

I got U-Verse when I moved to Dixie and nearly had a grabber when I saw there was only one BTN and 3 SEC channels, but then I found out there are 8 overflow channels from 1691 and up that they use for overflow games from the specialized networks and that every Big Ten game is on live. Turns out it is just the opposite of what RCN and Comcast did in Chicago where they 3 BTNs and 1 SEC and they just stuffed all the SEC games on unassigned overflow channels. Modern cable is amazing.
 
Found this.

Big Ten Apps
There are two different apps that carry Big 10 games: BTNGo and BTN Plus.

BTN2Go
BTN2Go is the Big 10’s official app. Though there is some free content on BTN2Go, to get the most out of it you have to log in with TV Everywhere credentials.

As mentioned above, BTN2Go’s key benefit is that it lets you watch recently broadcast games. Recordings last for 24 hours before they expire.

Another cool thing about BTN2Go is that it lets you watch out-of-market games. If your local BTN broadcast doesn’t have the game you want, you can use the BTN2Go app to stream a different one.

In addition to live games, BTN2Go carries original BTN programming like The Journey, Big Ten Elite and other BTN shows.

DirecTV Now, fuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, PlayStation Vue and YouTube TV can all unlock BTN2Go.
 
I have Spectrum in Ohio and they have the Penn St. game scheduled on both BTN stations. Are there overflow stations on Spectrum I am not aware of?
