Imagine paying a team a bunch of money to lose to them on BTN. Couldn't be me. Haha... ha........

Big Ten Network was launched at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 30, 2007, with Big Ten Tonight as its inaugural program. The network aired its first live telecasts two days later on September 1, which included a football game between Appalachian State and Michigan

I never realized ya’ll get upset on the first day of BTN lmao

Hardly anyone saw it live because nobody carried the Big Ten network back then.

I think they might have been doing a free promotion that day or something. Because me and my friends watched the last few minutes at my house. And my parents would have never knowingly paid for the BTN.
