Founded in 2007, the company employs approximately 600 individuals. The company specializes in media and TV services, operating as an American sports network based in Chicago, Illinois.

On July 22, 2026, a former Big Ten Network employee received a federal prison sentence after prosecutors stated he embezzled over $4 million by using company funds to acquire Apple products, which he then resold for personal profit. Previously, on July 20, Rob Coons, Senior Director of StudentU at the Big Ten Network, was recognized as an SVG All-Star for his efforts in training the next generation of live-sports-production talent across the Big Ten. Earlier, on May 16, the network adjusted the racing schedule for the final day of the 2026 Big Ten Women's Rowing Championship, moving races to an earlier start time of 7:45 a.m. ET to avoid anticipated bad weather. This followed the network's announcement on April 24 of its expanded 2026 spring championships schedule, which includes comprehensive coverage for men’s and women’s golf, tennis, lacrosse, outdoor track and field, rowing, softball, and baseball.
