What is the Big Ten Network?

What's New at the Big Ten Network...

Launching in August 2007, the Big Ten Network is a new national cable/satellite programming service dedicated to covering both the athletic and academic content of the Big Ten Conference. Showcasing a wide array of sports as well as original programming produced by the conference's 11 institutions, the Big Ten Network will operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. ....

Gee, I thought everyone would be tripping over each other in a stampeded to sign up for that academic content!

That's why I'm tuning in - for the Philosophy department at the University of Minnesota. I just can't get enough of Critical Theory. Plus, they have a new faculty with the groundbreaking theory that people who act nice encourage niceness in others - no $hit - your tax dollars are working to promote the philosophy that "Mean People Suck." And now, you can watch it on the BTN show "Perspectives" at 4:11 AM eastern, every Tuesday morning.
