Should hopefully get decent BTN ratings with it being played on what’s essentially opening night for Labor Day weekend football.
UNLV time/network not announced yet. Hoping that we get CBSSN or something as that should be a decent G5 OOC game. Interested to see how Dan Mullen does after a few years in the studio.
In fairness, I think Wisconsin is probably a bigger “name” watch than Nebraska, Cincy, Minnehaha, and Buffalo. I’m a huge CFB fan, and would probably watch that one over the other 2, even if Miami wasn’t playing in it.
Also, should be interesting to see Fickell’s final season as a B1G HC.
I thought the date/time for this was moved a while ago to get a more marque network/time slot for coverage. Happy the game is on BTN, but that’s the minimum because all games I believe in the BG10 are there if they don’t get picked up by ESPN, ESPN 2, ABC, Fox, etc.
“We will be releasing instructions sometime later this month on our Athletics Website as well as email communications such as Miami Monday on how to purchase tickets for the Wisconsin and Rutgers road games.”
So I called the ticket office, since we’ve reached the end of the month with no additional word on ticket info, and the representative had no idea whatsoever about any blocks of tickets for any road game and suggested that I contact Wisconsin directly.
It’s 4 weeks until kickoff. How do they not have any info on tickets for the season opener in a Big Ten stadium?
