BIG TEN NETWORK:
‘Big Ten’s Best’ to Spotlight Conference’s Legends, Tradition
Series debuts Friday with ‘Dynamic Football Duo’s of 80’s and 90’s’
CHICAGO – As the oldest Division I athletic conference, the Big Ten Conference has long been known for its excellent players, coaches, teams, tradition and history. The Big Ten Network will honor the conference’s outstanding legacy with the new series, “The Big Ten’s Best.”
Hosted by Charissa Thompson, the series premieres at 8 PM ET on Friday, with “Best Dynamic Football Duos of the 80’s and 90’s.” New episodes will air at 8 PM ET each Friday.
“One of the things that makes the Big Ten special is its unique sense of history and tradition. ‘Big Ten’s Best‘ will spotlight the players, coaches and teams that have made the conference what it is today,” said Mark Hulsey, Big Ten Network Executive Producer and VP, Production. “These shows will undoubtedly spark some debates between fan bases, whose rivalries help characterize the conference.”
Each program will rank the conference’s top 10 performers or performances in a particular category and include interviews with players, coaches and media.
Upcoming shows this fall will include “Best Big Ten Running Backs of the 90’s,” “Best Big Ten Quarterbacks of the 80’s,” “Best Football Finishes of the 80’s,” “Best Football Finishes of the 90’s,” “Best Big Ten Basketball Players of the 80’s,” “Best Big Ten Basketball Players of the 90’s,” “Best Dynamic Duos in Big Ten Basketball,” “Best Basketball Finishes of the 80’s,” and “Best Basketball Finishes of the 90’s.”

— NOTE for FOOTBALL SATURDAYS —
On some football Saturdays, the Big Ten Network airs multiple football games simultaneously. However, all of our games are made available to our distribution partners so they may air those games on “Extra Football Game Channels.” Most large cable, satellite and telco affiliates carry some or all of our “Extra Football Game Channels.” This varies by market and by affiliate and the decision whether to carry these extra games is made locally by cable operators. These channels are only available to us on football game days.
To get the specific channel numbers for games in your area, go to www.bigtennetwork.com/gamefinder.
