Noticed that AW-III was elegantly cropped out of the pic. 

 

 

ESPN announced Monday that Nebraska’s game at Clemson on Nov. 30 in the 2016 ACC/Big Ten Challenge will tip off at 8 p.m. (CT) and will be televised on ESPNU. The meeting is the first between the two programs and one of seven first-time Challenge matchups in 2016.

 

The Huskers have played well in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge under Miles, going 3-1 in four previous appearances, including road wins at Wake Forest (2012) and at Florida State (2014). The Huskers are one of three current Big Ten programs with winning records in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

 

ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU will combine to televise all 14 games of the three-day event matching top college basketball programs playing for conference supremacy and the Commissioner’s Cup. All 14 games will also be available via WatchESPN.

 

The Big Ten held on to the Commissioner’s Cup for the seventh straight year following an 8-6 victory in 2015. The ACC leads the all-time series, 10-5-2, but the Big Ten is 5-0-2 over the last seven years. The complete 2016 Challenge, including start times and television information... see link:

Not as fun... 2nd time in 3 seasons with little to no Saturday B1G games (*only one Sat. game in '14-15*), although last year NU had a ton of Saturday conference games:

 

[Daledangdarn]

No home Saturday games really sucks. Not cool Big Ten.

Total garbage.

I had a word in mind...but it was much stronger!!!

You are right...it was two words

No Saturday conference home games is just not acceptable. I understand the Big 10 network needs Sunday games, but all teams should have close to an even split between Saturday and Sunday home conference games.

[Huskers/Cubs]

Huskers & Wisconsin only Big teams with no Saturday home conference games. 

 

I thought maybe being a top tier team would get you more Saturday home games, after looking at a composite that is not the case, Penn St and Rutgers are near the top.

 

 Here is a listing of each teams Saturday home conference games ( I did this really quick, hopefully no errors)

 

Michigan 5 

Penn St 4

Rutgers 4

Maryland 3

Illinois 3

Indiana 2, TBD 1

Minnesota 2, TBD 1

Iowa 2

Purdue 2

MSU 1,TBD 1

NW 1,TBD 1

OSU 1 TBD 1

Wisconsin 0

NU 0

 

No reason for some teams to have 4 or 5 Saturday home games and others get 1 or zero.

We had 5 last year. I suspect this isn't really a priority when scheduling this stuff so it's more of a luck of the draw sort of thing 

[Red Don]

Well, It does take all day just to Get to State College! 

[AuroranHusker]

In NU's email about limited season-ticket seats becoming available, it was announced that the exhibition game will be Nov. 7th with an opponent TBA.

[AuroranHusker]

Alrighty, then...

 

[kldm64]

That is impressive beyond words!!!
