Big Ten Releases 2012 Primetime TV Schedule

The Big Ten announced moments ago that fourteen games will be televised on primetime television.  The games will be split to air on the ESPN network and the Big Ten Network.  The only thing worth noting or even laughing about is

that Purdue is the only team not included in the primetime schedule.  Poor Boilermakers.  Drew Brees is not going to be happy about this.

The key date I will be marking on my calendar is October 27th when Urban Meyer and the Ohio State Buckeyes visit Happy Valley to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions.  Nebraska will also play host to Michigan that same evening.  It excitement won’t stop there for Big Ten football though, as Wisconsin will get its rematch against Michigan State during the day.
