A record week on @BigTenNetwork! The 2026 @TIAA @B1GMBBall Tournament was the most watched in network history.
🏀 This year’s tournament averaged 706,000 viewers across 10 games on BTN, up +28% year-over-year, and besting the 2024 tournament’s previous record.
🏀 Friday’s quarterfinal round averaged 1,047,000 viewers across four games, marking a +66% year-over-year increase.

These days, there are thousands of live college sports available to watch.
Through @BigTenNetwork's StudentU program, hundreds of students are calling replays, switching cameras, and directing live game coverage on more than 2,000 events streaming each year on @BigTenPlus.

Our Anthony Herron (@BigAntHerron), a former @HawkeyeFootball DL, pens an essay to Kirk Ferentz, who can break the record for wins by a B1G coach tonight.

Really pleased to see the Michigan St-Michigan game on @BigTenNetwork draw 1.73m viewers, the most ever for a night game on BTN. Also the first time BTN has had the #1 cable game on a CFB Saturday night.
For the season, BTN games are +9% and outrating the CW, ESPN2 and FS1.

New schools. New studio set. Remodeled at-home control rooms. New Olympic sports graphics package. New hires (behind and in front of the camera).
The 18th year of the @BigTenNetwork may be its most significant one since its first.

A heartfelt thanks to everyone along the way who helped make this a reality. ❤️🐢
