It’s amazing what being (likely) ranked in the preseason Top 25 will do for your national TV prospects.
The Gophers released their 2017-18 TV designations and game times today, and things are looking mighty accessible.
Minnesota will play in front of a national television audience at least 23 times this season, which includes 14 BTN games and five appearances on Fox Sports 1, the B1G’s new television partner. Three games will be on the ESPN or ESPN2 networks, while the team nabbed a national broadcast on FOX against Michigan in early February.
Minnesota’s rising star improved the overall accessibility of their games, and only four of the non-conference contests will be on lowly BTN Plus.
