Does anyone know what the chances are that the game gets switched to either ABC or ESPN? I sent ESPN an e-mail yesterday about it, but I doubt they look at those. It's just crazy that this game is on BTN and the other two B1G games on ESPN/ABC are pointless

Zero. Scratch that, whatever is less than zero, that.
 

There is a negative one billion percent chance that it gets moved. BTN has already announced they're doing their pregame show from Madison, and games do not switch channels on such short notice. Find a bar with BTN or order the appropriate cable package for the day.
 


Can someone tweet Dick Vitale? Maybe he could talk to someone.

Michigan v Ohio State is never a pointless game, gotta understand that.

that game is on at 11:00 - nor reason whay MN v WI should not have been the ABC 2:30 game... although MSU v PSU had better probability of being a relevant game when they set the schedule

so BTN it is...who are the announcers? is Glenny the color man or Brian Griese?

I think (haven't seen for sure) we'll have Kugler as PBP and Mason as the color guy. Griese is an ESPN guy.

Edit: confirmed. Kugler, Mason and Byington http://www.ncaa.com/what-to-watch

But the game times and TV were just announced last week. It really is too bad this isn't on ABC or ESPN.
 

It not going to switch channel, from what i been told and read, ESPN/ABC had the first 3 pick for this week games and they pick Michigan/OSU, Penn State/Michigan State and Nebraska/Iowa. So that left BTN to get Minnesota and Wisconsin. BTN from what i been told had the 4th pick this week.

Since Nebraska-Iowa is on Friday, it was always going to be on ABC. It's choosing Michigan State-Penn State that doesn't make sense.

I just made my aunt upgrade her service for BTN so I could watch the game as we are traveling for Thanksgiving weekend. They are all from Wisconsin so it should be an awesome day of "Badgering" those cheeseheads.
 



Mason just said on KFAN that BTN had the second pick for games this week & they didn't want the Michigan dumpster fire. They're "thrilled" to get UM v. UW over the Michigan game.

I don't get it...what's the big deal about the game being on BTN as opposed to ESPN? So, you type in "610" into your remote instead of "206." BTN is a major sports network...you can probably get it.

Cable networks across the country don't carry it unless you get the big sports package, similar to how Comcast in Minneapolis doesn't get the Pac 12 network unless you pay extra for it but DirecTV does.

You're probably in luck with DirecTV or Dish, but most people in America get TV from their cable provider.

It's not even close to the same thing as ESPN. Everyone has ESPN.
 

For me BTN is preferred. Way more pre/post game coverage than if on ESPN.
