Football Iowa / Rutgers kickoff set for 3:30pm on BTN

Like the time, wish it was on a different network (even if FS1).
Perfect- wish we had more of the afternoon games at home for the best tailgating school in the B1G. I also like gmes on BTN as it allows me to DVR them.
The games on national TV don't allow you to DRV their streams. If you start a game, you can pause but you can't pre-DVR.
I have to make sure my wife understands that 12 noon this Saturday means 12 noon- not 12:30. lol

Learn to tailgate before AND after a noon kickoff. It's not rocket science that two tailgates are better then one.
Ah, my bad, that's right it will be only 2:30 out there for game time. Forgot about the time zone difference. Which means the sun will be setting 2 hours after the game starts.
??? Cant DVR BTN?
I do without any issue. I have Directv. What are you using?
That means the pitchers will have an advantage over the batters as the shade overtakes....Oh wait. Wrong sport. Nevermind.
How the hell does Minnesota v. Purdue get NBC, while RU vs. Iowa is relegated to BTN?
Not to mention Northwestern @ Wisconsin on FS1. Really surprised our game didn’t get one of those two slots instead. I guess at least it’s not Peacock.
Iowa needed a BTN game and they get a better Fox lineup the rest of the way.
RU/PSU a
for Fox/FS1Michigan State with another night game. That's going to be 5 night games this year. I know some are decided pre-season but were all 5 locked in from the start?
9/1 (Friday) - 7:00 vs. Central Michigan - FS1
9/30 - 7:30 vs. Iowa - NBC
10/21 - 7:30 vs. Michigan - NBC
11/11 - 7:30 vs. Ohio State - NBC
11/24 (Friday) - 7:30 vs. Penn State - NBC (at Ford Field)

11/24 (Friday) - 7:30 vs. Penn State - NBC (at Ford Field)
Yeah more alumni in Detroit and students home for Thanksgiving. To answer @Queztastic all 5 of those were preselected. Given another crack I don't think NBC would be wasting picks on MSU considering how their season went.
I'm expecting PSU and Maryland games to both be on the Fox networks. PSU I have no idea what time it will be but I'm guessing Maryland will be 330/4 along with Minny/Wisconsin.
Exactly my question when I look at that lineup and game slots.
Michigan - PSU - clearly the best game that weekend, noon on Fox makes perfect sense.
Ohio State - MSU is not very interesting at this stage other than driving slowly past a car accident - but at least the Buckeyes are a top 5 program, so that makes sense from that angle, too.
But Purdue will almost definitely be 2-7 after Saturday. Their fans took their lumps with multiple Peacock games, but back to back NBC appearances don't appear to be warranted. It's not like Minnesota will be ranked, either.
They did it to ensure Fox/FS1 has the best B1G games over the final 2 weeks.
What's the connection?
Week 12, no times /TV yet:
Rutgers at Penn State
Michigan at Maryland
Michigan State at Indiana
Illinois at Iowa
Purdue at Northwestern
Minnesota at Ohio State
Nebraska at Wisconsin
Final week of season:
Friday, noon Eastern, CBS: Iowa at Nebraska
Friday, 730 PM Eastern, NBC: Penn State vs Michigan State in Detroit
Saturday, noon Eastern, Fox: Ohio State at Michigan
TBD:
Maryland at Rutgers
Northwestern at Illinois
Wisconsin at Minnesota
Indiana at Purdue
Those are locked in already.
but still after the time change, so the sun will still be setting during the 2nd half.
Each network has a certain amount of slots. Of the games that aren't identified:
Week 12 will have 3 BTN, 3 Fox/FS1, 1 NBC
Week 13 will have 2 BTN, 2 Fox/FS1
Obviously the 3s and 2s can flip but here's how I see it shaking out:
Mich/MD Fox 330pm
OSU/Minny BTN 330pm
RU/PSU Fox 12pm
MSU/IU BTN 12pm
Ill/Iowa FS1 330pm
Purdue/NW BTN 12pm
Neb/Wisconsin NBC 730pm
Maryland/RU Fox/FS1 330pm
NW/Illinois BTN 330pm
Wisconsin/Minnesota Fox/FS1 330pm
Indiana/Purdue BTN 12pm
