Ann Arbor — It remains unclear how Hurricane Joaquin might affect Michigan’s Big Ten opener at Maryland Saturday night, but it certainly has captured the attention of Big Ten officials.
The Big Ten Network, which is televising the game, canceled the network’s studio shows from outside Byrd Stadium in College Park, Md. Meanwhile, the Big Ten and BTN are monitoring the weather to determine whether the game will remain an 8 p.m. kickoff.
Joaquin has been a challenging storm to gauge for meteorologists, but according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA.gov) late Wednesday, the forecast is certainly not ideal.
