[Husker] BTN

[Aaron Wolfson]

Yes, on Cox the BTN is on the same tier as MLB Network, ESPNU, etc. I have
it but I'm not sure how much it costs; additional tiers are usually around
$5-10 per month. I'd guess that a good number of Husker fans who are into
other sports already have it, but it would definitely seem unfair to force
people who only care about the Huskers (and aren't really sports fans in
general) to buy all those other channels.
