Oct 19 Iowa at Michigan St
Oct 26 Penn St at Wisconsin

Nov 9 FSU at Notre Dame
Nov 16 Oregon at Wisconsin
Nov 23 USC at UCLA

Watching Iowa-Minnesota will be good if you need a nap.

Well, NBC has the option of showing Miami of Ohio vs ND during that primetime slot. I wonder why they aren't doing that?

My goodness is Iowa Michigan st a terrible prime time game

Awful. Illinois-Penn State. Awful as well. An abysmal watch.

 

[Golson5]

Washington has 3 prime time games this year and they are going to take a huge step back this season. If so, NBCs prime time slate is pretty bad

Why are you so worried about when ND will or will not be on TV? ND will be fine.

The total amount of NIL $$$$$$$ when Ohio St. plays at Oregon is substantial.

Because that is NOT a prime time type of game -- for ND or NBC. And, NBC has to "showcase" many of the B1G teams somehow during the season ... there are only so many "quality" games in the B1G to go around.

Why is it of concern fro you as to when ND is on TV?

It isn't. I posted the info to inform you when the Big Ten will be in prime time on NBC. This year there will be between 14 and 16 Big Ten Saturday Night games on NBC plus 8 games on Peacock.

Surprised ND at Purdue isn't on the list. It's a B1G/ND Crossover. Also ND at USC. Would think NBC would want to finally get their hands on that game.

Fox or CBS probably scooped it up first

This is an ND board, not a Big 10 board or a board of a Big 10 school. Why are you here?

Why the snark? What is your problem? I haven't posted anything that is adversarial here.

ND's TV sponsor has chosen to make ND and the Big Ten a package deal for the next few years whether you or I like it or not. NBC will be bundling Big Ten and ND games for the next six years at about a 3:1 ratio. Also, the Purdue-ND series has been renewed for at least five years. That should be more interesting than Navy.

Why the snark? The question is why you keep coming over here to tell us about Big 10 goings on. This is not a Big 10 board. It's really not that difficult to figure out.

I'm not telling you about "Big 10 goings on." I'm telling you about NBC's fall telecasts "goings on." If you don't want to read it, don't.

 

[NDSMC78]

Yeah, it's more of the Big 10 stuff you push over here.

It is. You can tell the OP is a Big 10 homer.

Do you really think an ND board is interested in any, way shape or form about NBC's B1G game lineup and what games are in primetime?

If you're not interested in any, way shape or form about the NBC football schedule, then stop reading my posts and stifle. If you see a post by me, don't read it. From the various responses, it is obvious some others are interested in that info.

That childish response shows at least a glimmer of understanding. This forum is about "rivals", hence the name. Do you understand that your opponents can post here and engage in civil discussions?

The disdain for Michigan Football and anything associated with Michigan runs pretty deep here.

I, like everyone else here, am INTERESTED in ND's schedule (and future schedules) -- what we ARE NOT INTERESTED in is anything related to the B1G and their scheduling -- which appears to be the main focus of anything you post. And, from the many responses I have read, no one else is interested in what you post either.
