At the moment, that would be illegal per current rules.The Iowa athletic dept needs to get creative and tell fans the ticket revenue is comprised of 75% to school and 25% is donation to Swarm.
School is getting the huge media payout already...Swarm needs the cash to keep the product attractive.
Why would Troy be a night game?
Did not know that. I just happened to check at what was still left available at that time. Assumed they had been for some time.They went on sale at 9:00 this morning(at which time I got a couple.) If they sold out in 5 hours, that would have been 2:00 this afternoon.
There are going to be a few weeks early in the season when the B1G will have 12-15 games to fit into one day. There's going to be a heck of a lot of FS1, BTN and Peacock broadcasts in the preseason, and it stands to reason that some of the "less appealing" games will be night games.I forgot that this year we'll see our full B1G schedule of 11am FOX, 2:30 CBS, and 7pm NBC. Makes the old rules even more meaningless. It will be interesting to see how they fill out the schedules.
Not to mention the West Coast B10 game kickoffs @ 9 to 9:30 PM CST.I forgot that this year we'll see our full B1G schedule of 11am FOX, 2:30 CBS, and 7pm NBC. Makes the old rules even more meaningless. It will be interesting to see how they fill out the schedules.
Mainly has to do with weather in September versus November.Wierd.
LOL at Nebraska being considered less appealing than Troy.
With Fox doing BIG Noon Kickoff then CBS for 2:30 time and NBC For Primetime times really wont be etched in stone until 2 weeks before kickoff or less on most games.The old rules of what makes an 11:00 A.M. don't apply and hasn't applied for a while. The start time is secondary now. It's where it gets shown on. The Iowa game probably will be a BTN game. The start time could be any time. As we have seen with many games on the BTN.
I have no desire to go to a Black Friday game. Usually its Family, food, football and pretty good Basketball sprinkled in so the weekend is pretty loaded!Mainly has to do with weather in September versus November.
Nobody has said that yet in this thread, but yes, it’s a factor.Mainly has to do with weather in September versus November.
They should have set the Black Friday Nebraska game ticket prices the same as for ISU or Washington. The cornholer faithful would have snapped them up at any cost. I guess Beth and the Iowa athletic staff didn't want red and white to be the dominant colors in the stands on national tv.Nobody has said that yet in this thread, but yes, it’s a factor.
Also, Nebraska is not that good, as opposed to their belief, and it’s funny.
They should have made the tickets $5 million dollars. Then renovate the stadium with that sweet Husker money!!!They should have set the Black Friday Nebraska game ticket prices the same as for ISU or Washington.

It’s a concern, hopefully not the more part.Troy will give us everything we want and more.
