Well, obviously ABC's 3:30 ET slot gets first dibs and then the ESPN
networks get a game or two if they want them. So the Big Ten Network
does carry the leftover games with less meaning (i.e. that ABC/ESPN
doesn't want). When conference play starts, the Big Ten will carry the
Minnesota-Indiana type matchups.

But as much as the games that BTN carries seem to be dogs, among the
very first games that the network carried last season to debut the
network was App. St. vs. Michigan. That "dog" of a matchup turned out
the be my favorite game I watched all season.

The network is able to carry more meaningful basketball games than
football.
