Big Ten Mailbag answering questions about UCLA joining the B1G
By Ryan Kay
Dave from Anaheim asks, "Is the Big Ten Network a far superior streaming /television service than the Pac-12 Network?"
Yes, and it can be said with confidence that even though the Big Ten Network is not perfect, it is better than what the Pac-12 Network provided. The BTN has been around for a while and has really improved since it began in 2007. Whether it's watching a UCLA football or basketball game, Bruin fans will be pleasantly satisfied with the game broadcast and production of the BTN.
The only issue that many Big Ten fans have is with BTN+ which you have to pay for separately if you want to see games that are not televised and or streamed on the Big Ten Network. Right now you can get it for $89.99 annually or $12.99 a month. Many Big Ten fans don't think the price is justified but if you want to view UCLA volleyball and or soccer games for example, it would be something to consider purchasing.
If you also enjoy re-watching classic games, the BTN will from time to time replay games and they at times will also have a day dedicated to each Big Ten school which will show various programing related to that school for the day. The BTN also posts clips and highlights on their YouTube page and they also have weekly shows like B1G Today, The Big Moment, and B1G Trailblazers.
