Re: Future Schedules
Iowa is already playing several night games next year, which would lead me to believe it will be an 11am kick on Big Ten Network. It could be a 2:30 kick (again, likely on BTN). Also, Wisconsin v Northern Illinois is already assigned to the 7pm BTN slot.
The other Big Ten games that day that haven't been assigned yet:
Towson at Northwestern
Western Michigan at Michigan
Montana St. at Michigan St.
Navy at Ohio St.
Akron at Penn St.
Toledo at Purdue
UNI at Iowa
Minnesota at Syracuse
Illinois v Missouri is already the 2:30 ESPN/2 game, and Northern Illinois at Wisconsin is the 7pm BTN game. That leaves an ABC regional slot and probably an ESPN/2 slot left open, plus the 11am BTN spots. Last year on week one, all the BTN games were either 11am or 7pm.
Minn v Syracuse looks like an obvious ABC/ESPN game. I'd expect Navy/Ohio State to be the other, unless the league decides to eat one of Ohio State's appearances on BTN up early. Either way, I can't see how we end up anywhere other than on BTN, which means an 11am kick.
