The conference offers a DTC streaming service called Big Ten + that fills in the gaps for non-revenue sporting events that Big Ten Network doesn't broadcast. But since every football game is aired live by either BTN or one of the conference's other TV partners, that won't help with the blackouts. You can watch archived football games on Big Ten +, but not sure how long after the game is played before it is available to stream. Also BTN will rebroadcast games it showed to fill air time during the overnight hours, and I'm not sure if Comcast's blackouts will apply to that as well.
Next day replays? How cool is that? Reminds me of the Coaches shows after Monday Night football and right before the weekend local news shows Sunday night back in the 60's and 70's. Jim Sweeney's were the best, rationalizing 63-16 losses on channel 6 in Spokane right after AFL (well, Raider) games Sunday afternoons, saying, "well, these boys played hard." Sometimes fans even came out of the stands at Joe Albi to help pitch in.

Football replays on B1G+ are supposed to be available the day after the games are played.

It all sucks. Fan interests are way secondary.
