    Penn State-Maryland moved to Saturday at 5 p.m. ET on BTN+

    Glad I was wrong - it's very rare that TV "loses" in these cases but I'm glad the safer/smarter decision was made

    Ticket office was it's own beast; I stayed out the way there (but yes if it was my call)

    Definitely, I just meant the Big Ten or the schools aren't going to do it unless local officials mandate it

    Penn State-Maryland moved to Saturday at 5 p.m. ET on BTN+

    Being as visiting team and officials would all travel in on Saturday, which I believe has no weather concerns I would anticipate the match happening on Sunday. I spent nearly a decade working in a B1G athletic department and for indoor sports that was pretty much the guidance - if both teams...

    NEW (story): Iowa wrestling wraps Soldier Salute w/ one champ, Brands talks future participation at event

    There is a way - sort of. The Big Ten reaches out well in advance to ask if there are any black out dates. Like Penn St (I know you aren't supposed to mention them but bear with me here) puts in to have no home MBB or WBB over their THON weekend and the Big Ten accommodates that every year...

    NEW (story): Iowa wrestling wraps Soldier Salute w/ one champ, Brands talks future participation at event

    Worked in a Big Ten athletic department for a decade; conference HQ does not care one bit about catering their schedule for the soldier salute. On the flip side, while the exact schedule does not reach the schools/coaches until the fall - the block is communicated well in advance; like...
