Tech: BTN to stream at least 200 â??minor’ sports events

The Big Ten Network announced that it will double its commitment to several Olympic sports this season by streaming at least 200 live events on www.BigTenNetwork.com — more than double the 100 last season.

All events on www.BigTenNetwork.com will be available for just $2.99 per event, which BTN said in a news release was “significantly” less expensive than the cost of most other collegiate streaming services.

Of the 200-plus events, there will be 21 non-conference menâ??s basketball games, plus all exhibition games. Unlike any other conference, the Big Ten will receive TV or Internet coverage for every single home menâ??s basketball game for the third straight year. Once again, nearly 90 percent of Big Ten home regular season games will be televised.
