Just a nightmare of a lede from Scott Dochterman over at The Gazette on Tuesday:
Political campaigns trying to gain traction among Iowa voters have soaked up most of Big Ten Network's advertising inventory for Iowa football games this fall.
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has purchased a significant amount of time for Iowa football games, and Republican candidates and their Super PACs have followed suit, said Jim Reeder, BTN's vice president of advertising sales.
We have few rules on BHGP, but one to which we cling fiercely is NO POLITICS, so the fact that we're about to get bombarded with politics a full year ahead of the presidential election is just about the worst possible news—and that goes for either party's media buys.
