The game wasn’t on BTN. Regardless Nebraska is now an equal owner of BTN with the other schools so I am sure we will get our normal share of the revenue. They didn’t schedule any bye weeks so only way we could play Wisconsin is if there are outbreaks on multiple teams at the same time resulting in multiple cancellations where the conference may change the schedule.

All B1G schools share equally in the TV revenue pot. Not playing games, however, could reduce the total pot that gets split up among all schools regardless of which schools didn't get to play.

I'm sure, for example, if the Michigan-Ohio State game didn't get played for any reason (always the largest TV viewership for the B1G) then the network would not want to make the same payment to the conference and every school would get a smaller share.
