So from my count we had 35 regular season games last year.
FSN: Of those, 19 were televised by FSN or FSN+. With the 14 game rumor, that leaves another 5 games that wouldn't get scheduled.
BTN: BTN televised 9 games. Rumor has it BTN might drop to 3 games (although Pizzo really doubts that number). I recall reading an article from last spring saying that one of the associate commissioners at B1G was pleased with the first BTHC season and felt that they should get the league more resources, not less. But can't find it, and it still wouldn't mean that much. BTN streaming covered every game picked up by BTN and FSN from what I recall.
ESPN: ESPN picked up 3 games. Don't know how happy they were with the results. Seems to me that if BTN schedules more, that's a good sign for ESPN to pick up more...and vice versa.
NBC: NBC picked up 3 games. And last I checked they were extremely happy with the ratings of their Notre Dame game. Another wild card.
UM streaming: There was none. But the school did stream all women's hockey games as they weren't televised anywhere.
I don't have access to other boards this morning...but if I were king for a day (and had the time), I'd put together an initiative to get the U to start streaming games that aren't televised. They do it with many other sports.
