I can't speak for the Big Ten Network, but we're certainly not a low budget public access channel. We are well funded and our people and production are top notch. We use exactly the same freelance people and equipment (production trucks) as the major networks. I'll say again that the lead game producer for BTN is a former Executive Producer for CBS and a producer I worked with when I was directing football for NBC Sports, so I would be amazed to hear that they don't do an outstanding telecast.
Looking at their executive team on their website, most of them come from big jobs at major networks.
Did you see the game? I'm wondering why you use the "low budget public access" phrase.
Is it because they're only on cable or DBS? Remember, so is ESPN and so are all of the FSN locals.
