College Gameday BB to be at Michigan at IU on 2/2
ESPN College Gameday will be featuring a Michigan game for the second year in a row now as they will be on the road on February 2nd to take on rival indiana.
Once again, we have a big scheduling conflict with basketball and hockey. Michigan plays state at Joe Louis Arena that same night. Guess I'll just have to get twitter updates while I'm at JLA.
The Wolverines, rated No. 5 in ESPN's preseason poll, will play a tough road game Feb. 2 at No. 1 Indiana as part of ESPN's "College GameDay" presentation.
...
GameDay, beginning its ninth season, features all day coverage, including analysis, news and features from the basketball season. The first hour airs at 10 a.m. on ESPNU and moves to ESPN at 11. The primetime coverage begins at 8 p.m.

I missed the "BB" portion in your title, and my first reaction was "Why in the world would they do College Gameday at a Michigan vs. Indiana football game?"
That said, it's always great for the basketball program to get more national exposure. Should be a really exciting year!

Is Indiana really a rival of ours?
August 10th, 2012 at 4:29 PM ^
In basketball I would say so. 70s and 80s had some bad blood to it.

I guess I'm too young to really know that. Neither team has been all that good until recently so there haven't been a lot of matchups of much importance. Hopefully the rivalry can be renewed this season.

How does GameDay being there make the game itself "tougher"?
To the OP: Your "quote" is a bit beyond "fair use."

Being paywalled or not has nothing to do with it. Unless things have changed around here, it's never been OK to cut-and-paste entire articles from other sites. You think Brian would want someone posting one of his entire front-page pieces on another site?

I redacted some of the quoted text, because he's right. It's technically a potential copyright violation, whether the quote is sourced or not. But yeah, when something is free, and the info is properly linked and sourced, there's a massive extent to which no one gives the slightest shadow of a shit.
If the season doesn't get here soon, I'm going to set the building on fire.

The crowd is usually more rowdy with Gameday in the house. Either way, Assembly Hall is tough to play in

Do oddmakers adjust the betting line on a game if GameDay is there?

Jalen Rose is now on College Game Day, replacing Hubert Davis who took an assistant Coaching Gig.
So really, Michigan will be on every College Game Day, football and basketball
