Very colourful poster which gives the impression that the BIG10 network will be screening these matches, but they aren't as ESPN have the TV rights. As I can't get ESPN in England. I will have to follow the games via jojonito's commentaries plus snippets of highlights on YouTube. Desperately disappointed after following the BIG10 all season via VTV.

Sadly I believe this is just PR from the B1G — not big ten network which is run IIRC by Fox Sports a competitor of ESPN. For women’s sports it was a good thing—ESPN had to commit to full coverage of all or most post season tournaments. Not just the finals. Back in the day ESPN would only join finals when they were finished w 4th rate MBB games. One time we missed most of the first set. lol.

True, BUT, now everybody has to subscribe to ESPN+/ESPNU etc to see the games. It used to be illegal (I believe), to for schools charge for NCAA sub-regional matches (most schools would televise the sub-regional matches for free). But it's okay to charge if NCAA is doing it. Oh well. Plus, for me at least, I don't get as good of streams from ESPN+ that I get from BigTenPlus. My streams from ESPN+ hang a lot more than the B1G streams do. So I have to refresh frequently to catch up to the play, which is annoying.

I felt at the time it was too good to be true, and was apparently right.

Regionals - Such a shame Wisconsin, Penn State, and Purdue are all grouped together. Would have loved to see what all three teams could do in various regionals.
