These days, there are thousands of live college sports available to watch.

Thanks to @SVGCollege for this peek inside BTN StudentU which powers @BigTenPlus!
What these 18 programs do on a nightly basis is incredible and so are the broadcasts they produce. But there is nothing I'm more proud of @BigTenNetwork than the talented people coming from the 18 on-campus programs who make their way to BTN and other networks in this industry. They are the backbone of this company and just plain awesome to be working with every single day!

Saddened beyond words. A great person who was incredible in his many roles within the College Basketball community throughout his career. Can't thank him enough for all he did for the Big Ten Network and me personally. The season won't be the same without him.

The Big Ten mourns the passing of our friend and colleague Terry Wymer, who served as Executive Director of the Collegiate Officiating Consortium (COC MBB2) and Coordinator of Officials for the Big Ten and Mountain West Conferences.
