Quote:New On-Air Talent

A few fresh faces will appear in BTN studios this fall, including Braylon Edwards, James Laurinaitis and Corey Wootton. Edwards is a former Biletnikoff Award winner at Michigan and No. 3 overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. Laurinaitas is a former Butkus Award winner at Ohio State and was a second-round pick in the 2009 NFL draft before a productive eight-year career and Wootton was a first-team All-Big Ten defensive end at Northwestern and six-year NFL veteran.

Lisa Byington, a respected reporter, play-by-play voice, studio host for the Big Ten Network, will also become the first woman in BTN history to provide play-by-play for a football game. Byington will be on the call when Bowling Green visits Northwestern on Saturday, Sept. 16.

Content Collaboration

As consumer habits continue to evolve, BTN will look to create content for non-BTN platforms, including:
  • Being P.J. Fleck in collaboration with ESPN
  • A weekly Ohio State Football show produced exclusively for SportsTime Ohio
  • Televised BTN games and programming will be available within Fox Sports Go in addition to BTN2Go.
"Campus Eats Presented by EatStreet are also returning for their second seasons on BTN. Campus Eats, hosted by Jenny Dell and Troy Johnson, debuts on Sept. 5 and provides viewers with a first-hand look at the unique and iconic restaurants found across the Big Ten..."

Great news. Love Campus Eats, nothing quite like showing people the great places to eat, pig out joints, and hidden gems across the B1G.
I did not catch that the first time I read it that BTN games will be available on Fox Sports go. That will make it easier, less switching back and forth.
