Why isn't Michigan basketball on TV?!?!

I find this very irritating. The only way to watch the first 2 games was to subscribe to BTN plus for $10. What a rip!! Meanwhile, the other teams in the big 10 get televised on BTN playing crap teams. Yes. Why the double standard for Michigan? Is it because BTN thinks no one will pay $10 for those other teams and that maybe Michigan fans will? I don't get it. Instead, BTN shows women's swimming...They won't even give us a replay. There is the main BTN channel and 3 alternate channels. I am already paying for DISH and DISH pays BTN money to televise this stuff. What is going on here? Is Michigan in on it as a way to try to goad Michigan fans to drive to AA to see these crap games?

Not true. Yesterday was on ESPNU.

Yep. We had our first televised game yesterday. The exhibition game and first game of the year got the BTN Plus treatment.

I'm with you hungry. I refuse to pay for that garbage. It's a BS cash grab. I try to find a free streaming site to watch the games on BTN Plus.

You didn't miss much. Pretty sleepy victory.
