On March 12, 2026, Big Ten Network analyst Bruce Weber experienced a flight delay to Chicago after his plane was struck by a bird. Previously, on November 20, 2025, NBC reportedly explored sublicensing its exclusive rights to the 2026 Big Ten Championship game to streaming services such as Netflix or Amazon, an event it is scheduled to air as part of its seven-year deal with the conference through 2030. Earlier in November, on the 10th, the network highlighted its StudentU program, which supports 18 campuses by providing student training, feedback, and professional tools, enabling students to produce over 2,000 live games annually by calling replays, switching cameras, and directing coverage. This followed the October 30, 2025, announcement that Maryland wrestling would have two broadcasts on the network in January 2026, with matches against Wisconsin on January 11 and Penn State on January 25. In the same month, on October 6, 2025, the Big Ten Network began exploring options for a new studio location, potentially moving from its current converted warehouse at 600 West Chicago Avenue, which it has occupied for nearly two decades.
