Nebraska Baseball Broadcast Dates Released, Confusion Ensues

BTN has released their baseball broadcast schedule, as has the Nebraska athletic department. The result is a mash mash of confusion as BTN, BTN.com, NETV, and HuskersNSide will all broadcast games. Which is which and what is where? Who the hell knows.

BTN today released their college baseball and softball schedules, televising 84 games throughout the season including the entirety of both sports' conference tournaments.

Along with the games, BTN will have a show on Sunday nights:

Highlights and coverage of Big Ten baseball and softball will be featured on the Diamond Report, which airs Sunday nights during the season beginning in April. Hosts Rick Pizzo, Mike Hall and various analysts will discuss Big Ten matchups and breakout performances from the weekend's games.

Nebraska is scheduled to have four games televised, starting with Northwestern @ Nebraska on Friday, March 29th. The other three games are compelling with Nebraska matched up against Arkansas, last year's Big Ten Champion Purdue, and this year's projected-by-many potential champion Indiana.

Nebraska will be on nine games on BTN.com. Four of those BTN.com games will be shown on NETV, which is available only in the state of Nebraska. Still more games will be available via HuskersNSide - 14 of them that were not picked up by either BTN or BTN.com.

Keep in mind that BTN is different than BTN.com. BTN is associated with BTN2GO.com. BTN.com is the Big Ten Digital Network and it requires a subscription. NETV is not part of any of this, but is only broadcast inside the state of Nebraska. HuskersNSide is part of the Husker Athletic Department and it requires a subscription.

In a nutshell, to get the most Nebraska baseball coverage:

  • I need to get BTN on my television service provider.
  • I need a subscription to BTN.com, the Big Ten Digital Network.
  • I need a subscription to Huskers NSide.
  • I need to live in the state of Nebraska and get NETV

The problem comes because Nebraska's transition to the Big Ten is not yet complete. Nebraska's web site, Huskers.com, is serviced by neulion, while btn.com is done by CBSSports. As time goes on, perhaps all this becomes less confusing (we hope).

Complete schedule listing in a semi-hard to read format below (because we're here to make this more confusing and not help at all):
