I dunno if you're assigned a BTN game... seems to be last choice.

Posted by osklister <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=osklister' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on October 21, 2025, 9:24:30, in reply to "Every team needs a BTN game per contract rules each year*"

This is from Google AI, so TIFWIW:

Big Ten football game televised choices are determined by a draft among the primary network partners—Fox, CBS, and NBC. Fox has the highest priority selections, followed by NBC and CBS, which rotate the #4 choice and have a set number of picks each year. Networks select games through an email-based draft, with selections for weeks 4-14 made 12 days before kickoff, and weeks 1-3 requiring selection earlier.

Selection process

Network draft: Fox, CBS, and NBC participate in a draft to select games for the season.
Pick order: Fox has the top picks, followed by CBS and NBC. For example, in a given week, the typical broadcast windows are noon on Fox, 3:30 p.m. on CBS, and 7:30 p.m. on NBC.

Selection timeline:

For weeks 4 through 14, networks have until 12 days before kickoff to finalize their selections.
For the first three weeks of the season, networks must make their selections earlier in the year.
Flexibility: Networks can trade picks to secure specific games.

Broadcast details

Network assignments:

Fox: Carries the most games, with a mix of Saturday noon, Thursday, and Friday night games.
CBS: Carries about 14-15 games per season.
NBC: Broadcasts about 14-16 games on its linear network and has eight exclusive games per season on its Peacock streaming service.
Other channels: Some games are also shown on FS1, FS2, and the Big Ten Network.

Streaming: A growing number of games are being streamed, with NBC using its Peacock service for exclusive content.

I feel like it has to be balancing of the schedule with teams on specific channels.

We have 5 defenders in the box to account for 7 gaps. Then they motion a TE into the formation and we have 8 gaps to account for with 5 defenders. Luckily the play side guard is not able to climb to our #45 (Hood) and their tight WR makes a terrible effort vs #7 (Bailey) but we are just not aligned to defend this play.

What is the fix for the alignment?

Seems like the wrong defense for the formation being used on the offensive side, but it’s too late to change personnel at that point.

TIA.

You hear me talking, hillbilly boy?

Almost same formation for OSU.

We’re in a 4-2-5 with Bailey or Scott able to come down as a gap fitter depending on their assignment vs pass. 43 (Barna I think) motions down with the TE. Different personnel on the field vs the first clip.

8 defenders in the box (CB creeps in late) when Oregon shows 7 gaps. This Oregon play is dead before the ball is snapped.

“We are old and tired and just want to be taken care of.” - Republican voter, Dec. 2024.

I’m not right about much, but claiming donuts on my off-season thoughts about this schedule

Posted by OB25 <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=OB25' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on October 15, 2025, 9:38:10, in reply to "Open Week Illini FB thread - we've played 3 of the top 5 SP+ and are 1-2"

I really wasn’t understanding the local and national narrative about how favorable our schedule was and kept hammering the point that I really thought it was setting up for the possibility of totally derailing our program momentum before we even got deep into it. And thankfully we avoided that so far. But look at some of the specifics…

- 4 of first 6 G4 on the road

- Will have played the current #1, #3, #20, and #28 teams through our first 6 G4 games. And a 5th opponent (Duke) could easily be ranked next week if they win a game they’re favored in over GT this weekend.

- 4 of the 6 QB’s we’ve played should be 1st round NFL draft picks this year or next, and a 5th (Williams) is top 20 in Heisman odds right now.

- All 6 teams we’ve played have at minimum met preseason expectations for how good they’d be, and I’d argue that at least 4 are better than expected.

I know the last 4 on the schedule is lighter, but this has been a gauntlet so far and in my opinion is the most difficult schedule I can ever remember an Illinois team playing. Some of that is the new reality with better teams joining the conference, but Duke and Indiana aren’t supposed to have teams like this either.

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

also, Way too Early Look at 2026 (easiest to toughest)

Getting rid of Missouri helps, but a bowl game would be a huge accomplishment next year unless we can find a better-than-just-good QB and replace the whole Offensive Line

Wins:
Southern Illinois
TBD Non-Con (probably MAC/Sun Belt/CUSA caliber)

I don't know:
Purdue Could be respectable
at Michigan State hopefully they're a shit show?
at Northwestern I assume they're going to remain midling but they've kinda shown some pluckiness this year
at Maryland who the hell knows. They could fire Locksley and be the worst team in the league, or an 8 win team
at UCLA I assume they're going to be a real pain in the ass

Tough:
Duke Manny Diaz to Penn State? that would help
Iowa same shit, different year
Nebraska They're gonna be tough next year.

at UCLA I assume they're going to be a real pain in the ass

Tough:
Duke Manny Diaz to Penn State? that would help
Iowa same shit, different year
Nebraska They're gonna be tough next year.

OOF:
Oregon I expect pain
at Ohio State yea lol no

Iowa is still probably an 8-9 win program, Kirk leaving would be good for them

because he'd turn over the keys to a pretty healthy team (curious what they do, this is year #9 of this being his last year... I hope he stays until they fire him)

Rhule or Diaz getting new jobs and blowing up their teams would help us a lot.

In general next year, all of our marginal games we need to win to get to a bowl game are on the road and all of our hardest games are at home. Could be tough sledding with us reloading.

I looked at the schedule this spring and thought "we could be a pretty decent team and start 3-4"

it also was pretty obvious that we would know by now what our chances at the playoff was.

Being 5-2 at this point is a huge win. You've got probably our biggest test left at Washington, then four "should win" games. I expect 8 or 9 wins at this point, which is GREAT.

expanding further... it's October 15 and an 8 win season is in "sort of a bummer" territory

Kyle Williams was a five-star recruit out of Illinois that had some of the nation's best colleges recruiting him. He signed to play at Iowa, but he didn't have the ACT scores to compete and never played for the Hawkeyes. He wound up at Purdue, played well in a few games before things went awry. Now he's in prison for three brutal attacks against women he committed while wearing a homemade mask. But he says he'll never commit another crime when he's released. The question now: Is Kyle Williams still wearing a mask of sorts? Or is this truly the gaze of a man reformed?

To sell out a November game against Buttgers is incredible. We need to finish strong this year, the momentum with the fanbase is here to a level that it hasn’t been for decades.

I guess the dream is to eventually lower the field to add more seats in front of the south endzone to add back some of the capacity?

There was some rumor (never substantiated) that lowering the field would somehow cause both Main Stands to collapse inward. True?? Who knows.

Quite honestly, I think that expanding Memorial's capacity ship has sailed.... at least for my lifetime.

i think they'd add a second deck to the south endzone before they'd lower the field

Aside from an arms race at the very top between Michigan Stadium, Beaver Stadium, Ohio Stadium, Neyland Stadium, Kyle Field, and so on, the trend has been for reducing capacity and adding premium seating.

Even if we do have an extended run of sellouts, I doubt we'd add capacity at Memorial Stadium. Wisconsin and Nebraska have both reduced capacity through renovations, and they have far better attendance than we do.

From Google AI:

The new Dyche Stadium, which is now called Ryan Field, will have a capacity of 35,000 seats. This is a reduction of 12,000 seats from the old stadium to create a more intimate experience and provide better sightlines for fans.

that seems a little high to me, we'll see how they do. F+ has us at 30, i think we are somewhere between 25 and 30.

I'm praying so hard on IU's downfall. Prayed for downfall, no change.

IU has sucked out loud forever.

There was some stat somewhere on IU's football roster and the very low number of four/five star recruits they have. :-O Makes me grind my teeth.

NOBODY over there cares about football.
