Illini take Conference Baseball titles

Illinois captured the 2011 Big Ten Baseball Tournament Championship
with a 9-1 win over Michigan State
<http://affiliates.eblastengine.com/go.aspx?b=216363&l=2649832&c=8953386
>  on Saturday (watch highlights
<http://affiliates.eblastengine.com/go.aspx?b=216363&l=2649831&c=8953386
> ). Junior left-hander Corey Kimes tossed a complete game, while
senior first baseman Matt Dittman hit a grand slam in the third to help
seal the win. It is the Illini's first Big Ten Tournament title and
NCAA Tournament berth since 2000, and the first time in school history
that Illinois has won both the Big Ten regular-season and tournament
titles.

'Big Ten Football Report' to Discuss Tressel's Resignation Tonight

A special edition of Big Ten Football Report will debut tonight at 7 PM
ET to discuss Jim Tressel's resignation as head coach of the Ohio State
football program. Dave Revsine, Rick Pizzo, Gerry DiNardo, Howard
Griffith and Chris Martin will be in studio, and will be joined from
Columbus by Glen Mason and reporter Dionne Miller.

OSU announced Monday that it has accepted Tressel's resignation
<http://affiliates.eblastengine.com/go.aspx?b=216363&l=2649825&c=8953386
>  and named co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell, a Columbus native
and former Buckeye, as interim head coach. Ohio State said it will
launch a search for a permanent successor after the 2011 season.

Visit BTN.com
<http://affiliates.eblastengine.com/go.aspx?b=216363&l=2649824&c=8953386
>  to watch OSU Athletic Director Gene Smith address the resignation
and join Revsine in looking back at Tressel's time in Columbus.

Big Ten Network Unveils New Logo, URL

<http://affiliates.eblastengine.com/go.aspx?b=216363&l=2649823&c=8953386
>    
The Big Ten Network today announced a re-branding of the network as
BTN, and accompanying new logo and web domain of BTN.com.

Big Ten Network President Mark Silverman said the changes reflect the
network's evolution and direction. The logo also offers greater
flexibility for multiple applications, including creating
school-specific BTN logos using school colors
<http://affiliates.eblastengine.com/go.aspx?b=216363&l=2649822&c=8953386
> . 

"Fans, viewers, media and our colleagues have already naturally
gravitated toward the BTN name in recent years. It makes sense to adopt
it," Silverman said. "These changes are a logical step in our
evolution, and give us an umbrella under which we can launch other
businesses across digital platforms during our next phase of growth and
development."

The first such new venture will be unveiled next month.

The new logo also is part of a complete redesign of the network's
graphics, animation and music packages that viewers will see for the
first time during the network's coverage of the Big Ten Football Media
Days and Kickoff Luncheon in July. The new logo incorporates some of
the design elements as the previous logo, particularly the star, and
complements the Big Ten Conference's new logo. 

While the network's website is now www.BTN.com, the previous URL of
www.BigTenNetwork.com will bounce visitors to the new domain.
