I just checked the ESPN website (as a fellow fan living on the west coast) and it's on ESPN2 nationally, so you can stop worrying.

Yeah, it's on ESPN 2 nationally, lol. I'm pretty upset at Time Warner Cable out here. Sent them an e-mail and made a phone call about adding the Big Ten Network. Just a matter of volume, if we can get enough Big Ten Alumni to clamor for it, they just might add it.

Sad to say but the only cable companies that even give two craps about the BTN are those in the Big 10 states and maybe those bordering Big 10 states. You'd be better off getting U-Verse, DirecTV or Dish (although in non-Big 10 states Dish charges for it while on U-Verse and DirecTV it's just part of the mid level package).

Alum in Florida and can vouch that Brighthouse carries the BTN. You have to pay an extra $4 a month for the sports pack, but they do carry it.

I'm in LA's South Bay (Hermosa Beach), and TWC is totally unresponsive on issues like this. I dumped them for FiOS. Switch to FiOS or DirecTV.

My brother has Comcast in Maryland and he has it, though he has to pay $5 extra for a sports tier. You might be able to do the same. (I have Directtv.)

I agree that it is dumb for UM/MSU to be on BTN, but then again it needs to draw in people to be relevant, and this is a marque match-up. I guess I'll be heading to one of the UM bars in NY to see it.

I will further that claim and say it's stupid that we're on ESPN2 with Pam Ward this weekend when State plays Wisconsin on ESPN with the better set of ESPN announcers. We're the undefeated teams.

But I think they know that MSU/Wisc will draw in more fans than UM/IU for the simple fact that IU has been historically bad for years.

is that BTN gets to choose a few high profile games every year to broadcast. Not UM/OSU high profile, but something just below that, like UM/MSU.

Do you have to pay to listen online? I live in Chicago and think that if I don't go to a bar to watch the game, I am going to do this "sync the tv with the interwebs of the radio broadcast" thingamajig you guys are talking about. I think it's the way to go.
