Big Ten Network analyst Bruce Weber recently experienced a flight delay to Chicago on March 12, 2026, due to a bird strike on his plane. Previously, on November 20, 2025, NBC was reportedly exploring sublicensing its rights to the 2026 Big Ten Championship game—the only year it holds exclusive broadcast rights as part of its seven-year deal through 2030—to platforms such as Netflix or Amazon. Earlier in November, the network highlighted its StudentU program, which supports 18 campuses by training students in broadcast production, contributing to over 2,000 live games annually. On October 30, 2025, the Big Ten Network announced it would broadcast two Maryland wrestling matches in January, featuring games against Wisconsin on January 11 and Penn State on January 25. This follows news from October 6, 2025, that the network is exploring a move from its current studios at 600 West Chicago Avenue, a converted warehouse it has occupied for nearly two decades.
