Certainly will if you have a sat provider like DirecTV - as for cable providers you will have to ask your local one.

The farther you get from the core states in Big Ten country, the less likely your cable system will carry the BTN. The good news is that it will be cheaper for the cable companies that are out of the midwest. If you are on the west coast or some other distant location, Directv might be the only option. I live in Florida, but I have Directv and always buy gameplan, as well. Directv bailed me out last year with ESPNU. I am interested in the library of old big ten games to be shown on the Big Ten Network. I think some of these old games have never been shown anywhere else(like ESPN classic).

I think the point here is that even if you get BTN, you may not see your game as there will be multiple BTN games every week and DirecTV may likely only air one (unless they devote multiple channels to BTN football coverage). I'm not holding my breath.

New job: The planned Big Ten Network named Dave Revsine to serve as its lead studio host effective July 1, according to network President Mark Silverman.
Revsine will effectively become the face of the network, hosting a planned, nightly studio show. During his 10 years with ESPN, Revsine focused mostly on college sports, hosting ESPN Radio's College GameDay and radio coverage of several BCS championship games.
"He's done football; he's done basketball. He's a college sports guy," Silverman says about Revsine, who graduated from Northwestern.
The network will hire more studio analysts for its football and basketball coverage as it moves closer to its official launch in August.

Some OSU games could be missing from television Jim Naveau | jnaveau@limanews.com - 06.07.2007
If replacing Troy Smith, Anthony Gonzalez, Ted Ginn Jr. and all those other football starters who are gone wasn?t enough for Ohio State fans to worry about, now they have a new concern.
And it has nothing to do with fear of Gators, teams in orange and blue or Urban Meyer.
What has OSU fans agitated is that there is a possibility they might not be able to watch all 12 of the Buckeyes? regular-season games on television next fall.
Remember the sky-is-falling vibe last fall when the OSU-Indiana football game was available only on ESPN-U, which was not carried by most cable systems in Ohio?
It will be back this fall 10 times as strong if the newly formed Big Ten Network and the major cable companies don?t come to an agreement before the start of the college football season.

The sky may not be falling yet but it has some cracks in it. This would totally ruin my day. I guess I could move to Columbus and get an RV for the away games, quit my job, sell the house........

Your best bet for seeing most of the games is still satellite or Game Plan. | |
