Just a question... I was surfing this morning for anything that was B1G related baseball. Youtube has several college posts from virtually every conference but the B1G (even the btn youtube channel has zero coverage of baseball).. This caused me to reflect on my enthusiasm in Nebraska athletics over the years and my conclusion is, since joining the B1G, I'm simply less interested. The B1G has created a platform that is costly to the fans and profitable for their investors. There's little (if any) concern for the communities. Zero concern for the fans and what compounds it even more is the total lack of inclusion of the fans resulting in my gradual decent of enthusiastic fandome. Curious if others here agree?

As for as BTN is concerned I'm probably a little opposite of your experience. Never have to worry about a football game not being aired and I get all the NU volleyball games I want. Of course I'm not a baseball fan and I can see where their coverage of that is lacking.
If anything has caused my interest to decline, it would be the football team's performance issues dating back 20 years. There's plenty I don't like about the B1G conference and/or BTN but considering our teams had comparitively very limited coverage before joining the B1G, I won't complain.
As far as baseball goes, the B1G is more of a northern league and baseball is more of a southern thing so I don't find them shortchanging coverage to be that surprising. But like I say, I don't really care about baseball.
