By now you have probably heard that the Big Ten opener for Rutgers against Iowa has been announced as another noon kickoff. That’s the fourth home game of the season slated to begin at noon, with the Indiana game yet to be determined.
I don’t know, call me a sucker for school pride, but I’m willing to sacrifice an earlier start time for the fact that Rutgers will be on national television, either on ABC or ESPN2. It is also possible the ABC broadcast will be switched to regional action only, but even still. Rutgers is playing Iowa, the defending Big Ten West Division Champs.
