So i was just checking out the big10 network to figure out what kind of coverage was offered… I'm a YouTubeTV guy and was wondering how to get coverage of games that were not in the televised lineup and it appears that the way they handle it is via the BIG10+ streaming service which is offered at a monthly or annual fee… apparently each team in the conference has their own channel which provides streaming access to all events. Havent been on much lately so don't know if this is common knowledge ~ thought I would share that for those that were interested.

Had no idea, but having a main channel that everyone gets and then you can pay extra for direct coverage of your team seems like a bad idea.
Instead, the B1G should just self fund 6 regional channels of Olympic sports and assume that everyone whose a fan of a team in X state only ever lives in that fucking state. And then piss off AT&T and make it so that nobody anywhere outside of the footprint can even get the main channel. Also we need to treat ever member of the B1G like they're a special snowflake and give just as much coverage to Indiana as we do Ohio State.
I snagged the $20 for a year of Peacock deal, which includes B10N. I judged that one time fee as worthwhile for the Apple Cup and whatever B10N games we have. We'll see how it goes next year. I'm not sure if that deal is still active but anyone still hunting should check.
I would recommend having them do what the PAC 12 network did. Always good to leave dogshit and go somewhere new and bring your dogshit ideas with you
With the main channel and Peacock are there actually games that only air on B1G+? Shouldn't really be after the first couple weeks if at all.
I've never had to find a game I cared about on any B1G+ streaming thing, and have enough rooting interest in both PSU and Maryland. No football or men's hoops that matter end up on that, it is all on the main B1G channel. Maybe that changes this year?
Peacock is a different story of course.

There are three or four B!G networks on DTV during football season
just read the update that @SonnyShackelford provided [thanks] that indicates that Big+ football and presumably basketball games are not televised on Big+, its just the olympic sports type of events which are apparently offered on that network option is the way it appears.
Football games are on Big10N and additional games are on fox and other networks as they are negotiated
