If you have Directv AND have the total choice package, The Big Ten Network is included. There seems to be a good chance of getting some older
OSU games, that haven't been shown on ESPN or ESPN Classic. They mention the archives on the Big Ten Network website and "historic" footage, as well. Plus, the more games in High Def, the better. I am puzzled by the 24 hour nature of the station. Although many people complained about some Big Ten games being on ESPNU last year, some Big Ten games weren't even televised, in past few years.
