MINNEAPOLIS – The Big Ten Conference announced Tuesday a total of 10 Minnesota women's basketball games will be broadcast across four different networks. Six games will be broadcast nationally on Big Ten Network, one will be on FS1 and three will be streamed exclusively on Peacock, a subsidiary of NBC.
Overall, the 'U' will have every single women's basketball contest broadcasted on either a linear television network or on a streaming service.

The 2024 Big Ten Tournament held in Minneapolis at the Target Center will be broadcast by a combination of Peacock, the Big Ten Network and CBS
No question, it is annoying...money or no money....finding the channel...filling out the required info to sign up etcAs an out of state Minnesota sports fan, with a limited income, the spreading of sports over many different platforms is getting expensive and irritating. BTW, I don't have a TV in my house and my only phone is a work phone, which discourages adding Apps that are not job related, so I watch everything on a desktop computer/monitor.
Ideally, in the summer, I only have Netflix and MLB.com for entertainment & Twins baseball. Plenty of entertainment for about $40 a month. Since I already pay over $100 for cable computer access, I'm not interested in spending another $100+ that I don't have on a cable TV package.
In the winter, the MLB cost goes away, and I replace it with Sling and Big 10+ to watch Gophers hoops. Honestly, I don't really bother with any other Sling programming, just the basketball. So now we're up to almost $60-$70 a month (Big 10+ is about $10/month, right?). Now they're moving some of the games over to Peacock. Another platform I don't really want, but will need to buy to catch some of the Gopher games? When is it going to stop?
I know that some of these platforms offer a free month or week of access. Don't get me started on the inconvenience of having to jump through even more extra hoops to go through the sign-up process, having to remember what platform has what, then remind myself when the cancel date is, and go through the process of cancelling. Guh!
Poor mans rant over!
I'm looking into options when I retire to get rid of Xfinity. Currently playing around with T-Mobile for internet; $30 a month. I also plan on giving fubo TV streaming a shot. It has B1G, ESPN, etc. Base is $74.99/month. Can either stream it thru my TV or thru Roku.As an out of state Minnesota sports fan, with a limited income, the spreading of sports over many different platforms is getting expensive and irritating.
