2010 NU football games on BTN

[billdozer15]

If some of our games are not picked up by FSN, ABC/ESPN or another telecast the University then has the right to show them on a PPV basis. Is there anything preventing the games that would otherwise be PPV from being shown on the BTN? Obviously I dont think the BTN would show our conference games there, but would they show our 3 preseason games that are assuredly going to be on PPV?

We're not joining the Big 10 until 2011. so how would that work?

Delaney said they are planning on showing some Husker related programming on the BTN to help get the NU name out to the rest of the conference this year.

Laugh all you want, but look at all the Big Ten fans coming to the board asking for info about the program, traditions, etc etc. This isn't the 90s anymore, most people know the name and the colors and not much else.

Maybe it doesnt. I didnt know if it could be possible. The way I look at it we own the rights to the PPV games and basically have the right to park them wherever we want. So i didnt know if because we already have a contract in place with the Big10 if they would show our games that would otherwise be PPV. It would be extra advertising dollars for them.

 

If their already going to be showing other Nebraska programming what is preventing them from showing a game?

apparently i am wrong...but i thought we wouldn't have anything on the BTN until we moved there in 2011...but i guess if it gets our name out there and we don't have to watch PPV...anything is better than that...guess living in nebraska and seeing all the fans we have across the nation didn't really think we had to get our name out there

It would be sweet if the BTN picked up an OOC game this year but who among us could watch it anyway? TWC doesn't have the BTN to my knowledge.

Well anyone who has Directv or Dishnetwork would get it already. I am sure TWC will be getting it soon.

Time to call/mail/e-mail your local cable company and tell them you're switching to DirecTv or Dish Network because of the BTN.

Arrrgh! Stupid double-clicking mouse!

I know for certain Directv shows it nationwide. I am in Des Moines so I am considered Big10 country and I get it here on Dishnetwork. If you dont get it in your basic package outside the footprint you should be able to get it with the sports pack.
