39 games?

Quote:
from : Big Ten Network
PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
The Big Ten Network will televise more than 400 live events during its first year, including 39 football games, 140 men's basketball games, and 24 classic football contests. Almost all of the network's programming will be available in high definition.
If the BTN is going to offer a total of 39 games this season and has already announced the 17 for weeks 1-3 (same link as above) - that leaves only the conference games -- will they (BTN) lock up 4 OSU and Michigan games just to prove a point?

Quote:
Each Big Ten football team will make 3-6 appearances on the Big Ten Network this fall
Each football team is guaranteed to make at least two appearances on the network per year and one of them will be a conference game
Any predictions which conference game(s) will be chosen for OSU?



PS:
I called DirecTV to see what it would cost to only have service for September and October (from the angle that I am not happy with the DirecTV option and want to cancel after a few months) - depending on which operator you believe you have to buy out the contract for $12.50/month ... one operator said you could sign a 1-year and the other said the minimum was 2 years. Service is $45 and you get a LOAD of free stuff just for subscribing and both operators said that early termination wouldn't impact those (meaning you won't have to ultimately pay for your free gifts for cancelling).
My wife noticed me moping around and said that we would probably spend $150 if the family had to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for 3-4 games ... something to think about, especially if you prefer adult beverages.
