It was touch-and-go there for a little while, but after being bumped from Fox Sports 1 because of a weather-delayed ALCS game between the New York Yankees and Houston Astros, this Friday night’s game between the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes and Northwestern Wildcats will now air on the Big Ten Network according to FOX Sports’ college football reporter Bruce Feldman.
The flagship FOX network was not an option for the move because of the recently launched Friday night edition of the WWE’s “Smackdown.”
The game’s move undermines the entire rationale for moving a select handful of Big Ten games to Friday nights in the first place.
