The Big Ten’s full primetime slate is in, and the locals were not ignored.
Northwestern will play two “prime” games on BTN, against Duke and Nebraska, in addition to the late-afternoon tilt against Ohio State that ESPN announced last week.
BTN will give Illinois a primetime date for its rematch against North Carolina (Last year the Tar Heels romped 48-14).
