Isn't This What the BTN is For?
So at 7:05pm tonight University of Michigan will take on the University of Illinois in the Big Ten Tournament. For all of us in Ann Arbor, going to the game is a great option, despite the cold weather. Luckily for fans outside of Ann Arbor, there is a network dedicated to Big Ten sports which has coverage of every single conference championship. You would think that would be the case, but here's BTN's line up for tonight:
While I, like other Michigan fans, would like to see how the Wolverines won the Big Ten outdoor track title, isn't things like the baseball tournament the reason BTN was made? It seems a bit ridiculous to run a pre-produced show about the track championships almost a week after they took place instead of showing the live baseball tournament.
I like the BTN and think, eventually, it will be good for Michigan fans, but it definitely needs some work to get where it ought to be.

maybe if your cable companies would have stepped up to the plate they would have had more money to do the entire playoffs instead of friday, saturday, and possible sunday.
They are showing 10 hours on friday. 6 hours on saturday and possible 3 hours on sunday. To me that isn't to bad!
You seem to cry a lot? I am more than happy of what I am able to watch on the BTN.
We were able to watch the softball regionals last week when no other network picked them up so it was on the BTN and it wasn't suppose to be on there.

Oh yea forgot something.
Before the BTN how many hours of Michigan Baseball did you watch during the season or in the Big Ten tournament on TV ... not many I can tell you even if you had the sports packages with ESPNU or CSTV which is now CBSC?
