BTNs Nebraska Promo

[VprHis]

I do not know if you can see this online or Not...Since Nebraska is now B10 territory I would be shocked If all the cable networks in Neb dont carry the BTN..Dont fret

It may come down to the last few months before the start of the season..These negotiations between indv companies usually go down to the wire but they get resolved.

Its my understanding the B10 Network will cover some Nebraska sports prior to 2011..

If you're on directv, it can be downloaded from the BTN's video on demand channel (1610 here, anyway). There are also some interviews from back when this all became official.

I sincerely hope this doesn't happen, but I'm so worried that DirecTV and the BTN will get into some kind of contract dispute similar what happened to DirecTV and Versus last year. I am still pissed that I missed several Big 12 games and couldn't watch the Baylor game at my house. If DTV does screw it up next year, I am canceling for sure!

Is the BTN available in Nebraska at this time? What about other non-B10 states?

Yes. Cox offers it in the sports package.

Yea that did suck...however, they have worked everything out and we get Versus and all Comcast channels now.

Don't kid yourself. Michigan is glad we're in too. Just ask their fans. I have a family of them next door.

if you have a family of wolverines next door you should probably report that too you're local police department, I did about this bunch of badgers and it worked out well.

I think they're well aware of exactly where the bread is buttered when it comes to the BTN. They were one of the first major carriers to pick it up, and used it to siphon off subscribers from their competitors. That, and I think you're perhaps not used to having a conference that employs people with business savvy (translation: heads not inserted rectally), who know how far they can push a deal without making problems.
