2015 Purdue Football Spring Game: How To Watch

The Big Ten Network, once again, fails to recognize Purdue.

Basically, you can't.

The Big Ten Network, created in 2007 to give more profile to the conference's then 11 schools, is always in need of programming. It is the standard-bearer for money-making in college athletics and has led to the creation of the Pac-12 and SEC Networks. In the spring, to fill the programming void, it fills Saturdays with spring football coverage.

Now, I agree that spring football is fun, but it is ultimately a pointless, glorified scrimmage. Teams run gimmick plays and if one side of the ball dominates it raises questions about the other side.
