Here is a recap of the information sent to Alumni by Kimberly Lowe

Hello Ohio State Alumni,

It is that time of year when we gather with friends and family to cheer on the Football Buckeyes. But before this happens you need to check with your local game-watch site and cable provider to make sure that they
carry the Big Ten Network (BTN). This year some games will only be broadcast on the Big Ten Network. Providers such as Direct TV have already added the channel. The Big Ten Network is a joint venture between subsidiaries of the Big Ten Conference and Fox Cable Networks. For more information regarding the Big Ten Network, visit www.BigTenNetwork.com.

We have been in contact with The Blue Goose Sports Cafe in Sharonville. They have direct TV and have assured us that The Big Ten Network will be available. At this time only the first two games are affected by this (per www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com). They are the Youngstown and Akron games.
