I'm surprised the MSU-OSU game isn't primetime. There was quite a bit of talk about it being a night game, and it seemed like Michigan State fans were looking forward to it. Mark Rudner, the B1G senior associate commissioner for TV administration, did say more night games could be announced by early summer, though.

In a couple of years, unless we really get our act together, PSU could be a tough win, even if Karma shifts out way.  They have a very dynamic coach and so far have 8 four stars out of 12 recruits.

Michigan only has one prime time game, while PSU, OSU and Neb have two each. Guess NBC has rights to the ND game.

On a non-joking note, Maryland can probably get away with scheduling night games into November against the right opponent and get on prime time (I know there isn't a rule). The weather is still pretty comfortable in College Park around that time. In 2010, they played a night game against Florida State as late as November 20th that aired on ABC. So we might even see Big Ten Football at night in late November.
