Penn State/Michigan State to be a 6 day hold for TV

[doctornick]

Don't have a link right now, but PSU/MSU is going to be a 6 day hold (along with tOSU/Iowa) for either 12 PM or 3:30 PM.

It looks like the game that goes to the 12 PM slot will go on ESPN. The game going to the 3:30 PM slot will be on ABC.

The 12pm slot will be FOX. Disney already has 12pm games for ABC, ESPN and ESPN2.

Indeed you are correct. I missed the Florida/Missouri game on 12pm on ESPN. That's strange that Fox put Minnesota/Michigan on in primetime but will have one of these better matchups on at noon. It sounds like perhaps the Big Ten is requiring all night games be announced at least by the 12 day mark (i.e. 6 day holds have to be early timeslots).

I'm assuming FOX picked first this week and put one of OSU/PSU on the 6-day hold. Disney picked second and put the other team on the 6-day hold. Then FOX picked third and took Michigan in the night slot since they can't 6-day hold night games as you said.

But thinking more, that may not be the case since Disney may have picked first and then they picked WIsconsin/IU over Minny/Michigan.

So I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

MSU start time

When will this be announced? Thanks guys...

 

[LionIze]

After all of the Saturday games or early Sunday morning.
This game is a 6 day window.

12 or 3:30 game, but poster above is correct, 6 day advance notice. We got tickets, just waiting for the announcement so we get the hotel the night before or night of the game.

Since we joined the conference, I don't recall the MSU game ever being at noon.

That's because it's the battle for the coveted Land Grant Trophy..... The B1G wants to showcase this epic battle with our #1 rival in the league!

So a noon game?

This game time is mostly contingent on who wins this weekend. Ohio State vs Iowa is the other game in the 6 day window. If PSU wins the game against MSU is at 3:30 and the OSU/Iowa game is at noon. If OSU wins vice versa.
