Great. As if we don't get enough of the Big Ten. The only positive I see is when the MAC plays the Big Ten. Looks like the Big Ten is gonna cash in on more revenue.

Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel was one of a chorus of voices lauding the creation of the new channel, and the myriad options it will provide for fans. "One thing we know about Ohio State fans is that they cannot get enough of watching their Buckeyes, no matter what the sport," Tressel said. "Now, thanks to the Big Ten Channel, they will have more opportunities than ever before. What a great opportunity!"

No matter what sport? I don't think so, Jim. The vast majority of OSU fans I know follow football only and couldn't care less about the other sports. :wink:

Any thoughts on this?

Less than 72...GO FALCONS!

I surprised it's not pay-per-view. Bilk the saps for more of their cash.

I knew there would be comments about this..and I know it is killing you guys. I love it. t is great. too bad each school only gets 60 hours a year. They need to limit PSU and Michigan to 20 minutes a year and split the rest between all of Ohio States sports haha

j/k
but it is a good idea for the whole conference
