Lincoln - The Big Ten
Conference announced on Tuesday that the Nebraska soccer team will make one appearance
on the Big Ten Network this season and will have seven of its 10 home games
streamed live on the Big Ten Digital Network (BTN.com). Other road Big Ten Conference
games carried by BTN.com are likely to be added as each conference school sets
its Student U/BTN.com schedules. Nebraska's own HuskersNSide may also stream
the three remaining home contests, but that will be announced at a later time.
BTN's soccer coverage also includes the BTN
Soccer Report, a weekly web-only show hosted by Kevin Egan. Fans can
also follow the entire season on Twitter @BTNSoccerReport, or by using hashtag
#BTNSoccer.
Husker fans across the country will

Big Ten Network or BTN2Go.com. The game is scheduled for a 5 p.m. (CT) start in
Evanston, Ill., on Friday, Sept. 14 and will be shown on BTN at 7 p.m. (CT) the

Huskers and Wildcats is one of 10 games scheduled to be shown on BTN during the
2012 regular season. Both semifinal games and the championship game of the Big
Ten Conference Tournament are also shown live on BTN.
