In the fast-paced world of sports and social media, BTN.com now offers in-game Big Ten highlights on Twitter. When a big play happens or a memorable moment occurs, BTN.com editors will post and share the video in a matter of minutes.
Let's roll through how to do this with a short Q&A.
Q: OK, so I'm on social media. How do I get those highlights?
A: We produce instant video highlights during Big Ten home games. That means our team of editors watches all of the live action, spots key plays and moments, and then clips and posts them to Twitter.
Follow the Big Ten Network on Twitter (@BigTenNetwork) during any game but especially on football Saturdays. That account will share the best plays from around the conference. If you're looking for even more highlights from specific Big Ten schools, follow our individual Twitter accounts below.
