This weekend will be as close to a college football Saturday as we get for the next four months.
On Friday and Saturday, a total of 10 B1G spring games will be played, rounding out spring practice for several teams in the conference. Indiana will kick things off on Friday night and nine more teams will host their open scrimmage/practice on Saturday.
It’s uncharacteristic that so many spring games take place on the same weekend, usually the games are divvied up over a few weekends throughout March and April. But schedules all seemed to align for one huge weekend of football this season, giving fans a bevy of options.
With so many games over the weekend, Big Ten Network will have live coverage of a few schools, others will be on tape delay and some won’t receive any coverage. Here’s a look at how this weekend’s spring game schedule — including BTN’s broadcast coverage.
