Like every other sports channel, BTN has gotten creative with its programming during the COVID-19 health crisis. We’ve seen a slew of classic games, countdowns and commentary outside of the normal broadcasting of live sports.
This week, it changed things up a bit and is playing classic rivalry games, dedicating one day per week on the biggest rivalries in the conference. It kicked things off Monday with classic Ohio State-Penn State basketball and football games, and we had a pretty good haunch we’d get some classics between Ohio State and Michigan at some point.
That has now become a reality. BTN will air classic Ohio State-Michigan games Saturday. It all starts very early in the morning and goes until the wee hours of Sunday. Here’s the complete schedule of classic games. Keep in mind, the network had to mine hard for a classic Wolverine win over the Buckeyes, so it is airing the 2011 game three times.
