Big Ten announces “Big Ten Channel”

The Dirt:

The Big Ten Conference created its own cable channel to showcase its athletic teams and reached a new 10-year deal with ABC Sports and ESPN.

The Big Ten Channel — created in partnership with Fox Cable Networks — will launch in August 2007, conference commissioner James E. Delany said Wednesday.

“It will be a destination for all things Big Ten,” he said.

The Spin: One can only imagine were they can go with this. Big Ten Fear Factor, Big Ten Idol. If only Bobby Knight was still around to play on Big Ten Survivor.
