[NU Sports] Big 10 Network

[s.fridley at comcast.net]

The Big Ten Network today reiterated that DirecTV will indeed carry all of the overflow games.  That's in the website FAQ, updated today.

There would really be no earthly reason for DirecTV not to do so - first, the additional games are being provided to them absolutely free; second, DirecTV has the additional channel space available and uses these regularly for additional sports coverage; and finally, it's a great opportunity to keep all of their existing Big Ten customers happy at a time when much of the competition won't have the games at all.  Seems like a no-brainer to me.
