Big Ten Network Finds a Home in Chicago

When officials from the Big Ten Conference announced plans for a new cable network last summer that would broadcast Big Ten football, basketball and other collegiate sports, it was not known where the network headquarters would be located. Last week, the network named Chicago as its new home, with the help of $3.2 million in incentives from the state of Illinois, beating out Indianapolis. The Big Ten will invest nearly $18 million in the facility, which will create 130 new jobs over the next three years.
