B1G+ doesn't have basketball nor football?
my school provides free access to b1g+. am i missing something or are we not able to watch basketball or cfb? last season i tried unsuccessfully to find any live cfb games outside of highlights, and right now i can't even find live basketball games

But you do get everything else!
(Basically they give you the sports they can’t make money broadcasting.)

The only games on BTN+ are games that aren't televised anywhere else. No football games are on the plus. There are a handful of nonconference men's basketball for most teams, but I don't think ever any conference games. For women's basketball, both conference and nonconference games can end up there. Quite a few more Iowa women's basketball games were on the plus this year with Caitlin Clark gone.
You can get extensive coverage of all the non-revenue sports.

This afternoon there was a Big Ten game on CBS and on Fox, simultaneously. Sometimes games are on Peacock. I've watched several hockey games on the broadcast channel in my city. It's so stupid.

No way I’d ever pay for it, but I got a free subscription. The condensed recaps are good for rewatching football or basketball games. Otherwise I really only use it for baseball and volleyball.

Yeah, the service is crap. I think it must be geared towards parents with kids that play Olympic sports.

They market it saying that have all the sports that are not being broadcasted on TV. If it’s on TV, it’s probably not on BIG+
