Big Ten Network Introduces Web Streaming for Fans Abroad

'Big Ten Ticket' will make football, men's basketball telecasts available online outside U.S., Canada

CHICAGO – Big Ten fans around the globe will be able to watch their favorite football and men's basketball teams beginning this fall with "Big Ten Ticket," the Big Ten Network's new international streaming package.

All televised Big Ten Network football and men's basketball games will be available live and on-demand online to viewers living outside of the United States and Canada on www.BigTenTicket.com.

"The Big Ten Network has made a significant financial investment in the latest streaming equipment and technology. As a result, fans will see their games with a clarity that is comparable to high definition," Big Ten Network President Mark Silverman said. "We are thoroughly pleased to be able to offer these games to Big Ten fans living abroad and help them feel a little closer to home."

Fans will be able to select from three service options: the "Single-Game Pass," the "School Pass," which covers every Big Ten Network football and men's basketball telecast for one school and the "Conference" pass, which covers every Big Ten Network football and men's basketball telecast for every Big Ten school during the 2009-10 season. Fans will be able to make their selections at www.BigTenTicket.com beginning in late August.

The Big Ten Network will televise between 35-40 football games and 105 regular season men's basketball games, plus three Big Ten Tournament games, in 2009-10. The 2009 Big Ten Network football schedule includes the home openers for nine Big Ten teams, beginning Thursday, Sept. 3, with Indiana vs. Eastern Kentucky.

This would have helped two years ago when I was wandering around Dublin pubs looking for any news I could get on the Texas game.

I do miss the days of the two late August games that would kick off the football season.

Oh.  I hadn't thought of that since Texas played Ohio State in 2006 and 2009 and not 2007.

Good point :blush:

I can't see how watching the Big Ten Network could be considered manly.  Maybe watching a decent conference would qualify (although it's still only college ball), but the Big Ten sucks ass.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Now that I know my 2nd Cousin once removed is going to be playing for Wyoming I can tell you you will at least have blessed athletic genetics on your team.
