Home Game Times
For most home games, the kick-off time at Ohio Stadium generally depends on the designated network and broadcaster chosen to air the game. Either FOX, ABC, ESPN, or BTN will typically make select the kick-off time. For example, the noon game slot is generally reserved for the Big Ten Network, while a 7:30 p.m. game will conceivably be on ABC. In some cases, the broadcaster and kick off will be announced several weeks prior to the game day itself. Otherwise, it will be assigned closer to the date of the match. Some night games will begin at 8:00 p.m.
Away Game Times
Away games consist of the same variables mentioned earlier, as the broadcaster and kick-off time will be assigned by the host school. Of course, they will also take into account conference travel times and regulations as necessary. Generally, the game times, both away and home, will also be dependent upon other Big Ten games taking place, as there are often multiple games all taking place at the same time and broadcast over the same networks.
Televised Game Times
Televised games for the Big Ten will generally take place at either noon, 3:30 p.m., 7:00 p.m., or 8:00 p.m. Those are the most popular times for games, and the networks will take into account all the other teams playing, thus allowing for games to air across all the major markets.
