Michigan kicks off the abbreviated Big Ten football season at Minnesota on Oct. 24, but Jim Brandstatter, who handles the radio play-by-play, analyst Dan Dierdorf, and the broadcast crew won’t be there.
Instead, they’ll be in empty Michigan Stadium calling the game off television monitors.
That’s how Brandstatter and Dierdorf, who have worked together since 2014, will broadcast the four road games in the eight-game regular season. There also is a plus-one game of seeded teams from each Big Ten division that will be played the week of the conference championship. The season was postponed Aug.
