I'm not good at this TV time slot thing, but here's a guess:
I see CBS picked up Michigan at Nebraska for their 3:30PM slot.
That 7:30PM NBC slot would be sweet. ND is at 3:30PM so they won't take it.
My fear is FOX picks us up for Big Noon. Their only other option is Maryland at Wisky, the rest of the B1G games with no set time are out in Pacific Time zone. I think they pick our game for Big Noon.
Maybe I'm wrong and someone can correct me, but I can't see it working any other way right now.
@tammany looking at the games that week, IU-Illinois is the best Big Ten or Big XII game of the day. So if Fox does have the pick, I assume they pick this one. Also a couple west coast rivalry games (Civil War and Apple Cup) are more likely for NBC 7:30 game.
@thehoosierhuddle Thanks. I forgot about the Big 12 angle. TV slots are too complicated.
