Big Ten Conference fans aren't the only ones keeping a close eye on the Big Ten Network.
Because the Big Ten will become the first Bowl Championship Series conference to launch its own television network Aug. 30, the other five major college sports conferences are studying the situation as they decide how to move forward with distributing information to their fans.

The official launch of the Big Ten Network comes Aug. 30, two days before the kick-off of the 2007 Big Ten college football season. Big Ten Tonight, a nightly studio show hosted by Dave Revsine, will preview the upcoming season and closely examine all of the weekend's conference teams in action.

Big Ten Network President Mark Silverman said the "Greatest Games" series honors the legacy of the conference's recent past, and will be a consistent presence year-round. "We know that these are the games that our fans talk about most, and we know they will love to see them time and again," he said.
The series premieres August 30 at 9 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. CT, with the 2006 Ohio State-Michigan "Game of the Century" before settling into its regular time slot with back-to-back episodes on Tuesday nights beginning at 6 p.m. ET, 5 p.m. CT.

Just ordered DirecTV today specifically because of the B10 network and the games I wouldn't be able to see (especially here in OKC). I'm ready for football season.

If you haven't already, make sure you get the HD dish because most of their games will be in HD...

Good advice, though if tbs ordered HD it should automatically come with the HD dish.
But DTV has been known to make a mistake or three in their time.
