F.N. writes: John, thanks for starting this blog.  Do you know when  a TV schedule will be released, and do you think any will be on BTN, or will they put  these all on BTN+ and make us pay to watch like they are doing with the women BB?

John: The TV schedule has not been released, to my knowledge. Obviously a lot of the games will be televised, and mostly on BTN. Or on BTN+, which as you suggest, is not free. Obviously, revenue generation is a top priority of the Big 10 (& the NCAA) — e.g., the recent decision to change the rules after the fact re who got to play in the Big 10 Championship Football game.

I’ll post info re the TV schedule when I get any. Maybe other readers have ideas about how to get BTN+ cheap?

E.T asks: “Why are all of your posts dated April 20, 2020?”

John: I started working on this about then, took a break when I could get outside and the Goph’s VB season got postponed. And I don’t know how to change that.

G.H. asks: “Who is the player shown on the opening page?”

Anyone?
