[Husker] Alternative ways to see the Nebraska football games

[Killmar, John]

Jay, you're not just talking about a few football games this season.  This season EVERY Husker football game will be on TV.  Most of the carriers will not charge extra for you to get BTN.  Are you just watching football on an over the air signal?  If so, you will probably only get to see a couple of Husker football games on TV.

In looking at the alternative ways, I don't think video.BTN.com will have live football games and quite likely won't even have replays available.
Where this could be really nice is for volleyball and baseball.  This is the blurb I ran into on the intro page (
http://video.btn.com/allaccess/index-splash.html):

"Welcome to the Big Ten Digital Network Your online home for Big Ten Conference video content and entertainment. The Big Ten Digital Network offers fans the largest schedule of online streaming video for Big Ten athletic events. Over 500 exclusive live streaming of *NON-TELEVISED* events direct from *BTN.com* covering basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball and more! PLUS, subscribers gain access to additional live and on-demand video content from every Big Ten school."
Which is really unfortunate and annoying from my perspective.  I have no desire to pay the necessary amounts of money for a satellite or cable TV service just to see a few football games.  Good old fashioned radio over the internet will have to do.  :) GBR,

Jay
