Volleyball to air on BTN once

The IU women’s volleyball team will appear on national television once this season.

The Hoosiers will play the Michigan State Spartans at 8 p.m. Sept. 26 in University Gym, and the game will be broadcast on BTN.

There will be other chances for Hoosier fans to see IU volleyball play this season, as seven of its other home games will be broadcast on BTN Plus, which is a live streaming video service offered by BTN.

The student pricing rate is $14.95 a month or $119.95 annually for access to the entire Big Ten Conference on BTN Plus.

To subscribe to BTN Plus for only one particular school, the options are $9.95 a month or $79.95 annually for the service.

IU is coming off having just gone 1-19 in the Big Ten. The year before, it went 4-16 in the conference.

Overall, since IU made the Sweet 16 during the 2010 season, the team has gone a combined 6-54 in the Big Ten, good for just a .100 winning percentage in the conference.

There are three other schools of the 14 programs in the Big Ten who also have just one game on national television: Maryland, Iowa and Rutgers.

The teams who appear the most on national television are Penn State, who won the national title last season, and Nebraska.

The Huskers and the Nittany Lions appear on national television eight times during the season.

No other Big Ten team appears on national television more than five times.

IU begins its season on the road against Central Connecticut on Friday. Its first home game is against Miami of Ohio on Sept. 5, and it begins Big Ten play Sept. 26 against Michigan State.
