[NU Sports] Watching NU from overseas?

[Jonathan Hodges]

BTW, the Big Ten Ticket, which allows overseas fans to watch the BTN live,
is now up:

http://www.bigtenticket.com

The "school pass" is $69.95 for the year, which allows one to watch ALL
content from that school for the 09-10 school year (i.e. football,
basketball, other sports & shows).  There are also options for a single
event and for an all-access pass.

This seems like a great step forward; I don't know of any other TV networks
offering legal content to those overseas (I lived overseas before enrolling
in NU and my parents still live there - you're basically stuck with whatever
cable/satellite offering there is in your region, which varies - and I know
that college football offerings are slim).

Also, the BTN put a bunch of its "greatest games" (NU/UM 2000, NU/Minnesota
2000, NU/MSU 2001, etc. are on there) on full-length streaming @ hulu:

And for those of you using twitter, the BTN shows/hosts are very responsive
to tweets sent their way.

I'd say the BTN has an excellent web-integration strategy going and
hopefully it will lead to more success for the network, especially now that
all of the cable contract haggling is behind them.
