Big Ten football fans who missed out on games last year because Time Warner Cable didn't carry the fledgling Big Ten Network can now relax. The network and the cable company said late Monday that they've reached an agreement that will enable Time Warner to carry games this fall involving Ohio State and other conference members.
That means Buckeye fans in central Ohio, where Time Warner is the dominant cable provider, should be able to watch Ohio State's opener against Youngstown State on Saturday.
The network and Time Warner said in a joint statement that the cable company will carry the channel on expanded basic in the eight states where Big Ten schools operate.
The Big Ten Network is expected to broadcast three of the first five Buckeye games this season.
