From Jeff Richgels's IDGI feature:

Big Ten fans across the globe will be able to watch their favorite football and men's basketball teams beginning this fall with "Big Ten Ticket" -- the Big Ten Network's new international streaming package.

All football and men's basketball games televised on BTN will be available live and on-demand online to viewers living outside of the United States and Canada on www.BigTenTicket.com.

"The Big Ten Network has made a significant financial investment in the latest streaming equipment and technology," Big Ten Network President Mark Silverman said in a news release. "As a result, fans will see their games with a clarity that is comparable to high definition. We are thoroughly pleased to be able to offer these games to Big Ten fans living abroad and help them feel a little closer to home."

Fans will be able to select from three service options: the "Single-Game Pass"; the "School Pass," which covers every BTN football and men's basketball telecast for one school; and the "Conference" pass, which covers every BTN football and men's basketball telecast for every Big Ten school during the 2009-10 season.

Fans will be able to make their selections at www.BigTenTicket.com beginning in late August. No prices were given in the release.

BTN will televise between 35-40 football games and 105 regular season men's basketball games, plus three Big Ten Tournament games, in 2009-10. The 2009 Big Ten Network football schedule includes the home openers for nine Big Ten teams, beginning Thursday, Sept. 3, with Indiana vs. Eastern Kentucky.
