Digging thru the upcoming "BTN Plus" schedule...
- Every Nebraska Home baseball game is listed for BTN Plus streaming but 2
(The Purdue game slated for ESPNU and April 28 with Illinois)
- 10 of Nebraska's 12 conference road games are scheduled for BTN Plus streaming. (April 13 & 14 at Penn St are so far not listed for streaming).

BTN Plus is a subscription service that costs $10 a month for just one school (the price of 1 game ticket) or $15 a month for the whole conference. Subscriptions are easy to cancel... been doing it for years.
I am in no way affliated with anyone, nor do they want me to be

The Frisco College Baseball Classic in past years were able for streaming on ESPN Watch app. So I'm assuming, again.

That's at least good it will be streamed, but I wish they'd put double or triple the games on the actual BTN broadcast
