If you were wondering how you can catch all of the action from Penn State’s final spring practice of the year, you better make sure you have your internet connection in good working order. Penn State’s final spring practice will not be airing on television, but Penn State will have a way for you to catch all of the action if you are checking in from home.
Big Ten Network is scheduled to air the Ohio State spring game on Saturday at noon eastern, which is the same time Penn State has its final spring practice inside Beaver Stadium scheduled. With no coverage on Big Ten Network or any other media outlet, Penn State will still give fans a chance to stay up to date on the development son the field with a live radio broadcast streaming on Penn State’s official athletics website.

Penn State will also be interactive with fans all morning and afternoon with Facebook and Twitter updates and a pre-practice show on the athletics website. Penn State will also be utilizing their Instagram account for live check-ins around the spring practice beginning at noon eastern.
It is unfortunate that fans will not be able to watch any of the fun from the comfort at home, but it makes sense this practice would not air on TV. Because this is not an actual spring game, it would be difficult to televise in any functional way. Based on past experiences watching live TV coverage of a spring practice as opposed to a spring game, it just is not an enjoyable product to watch as cameras are always finding a way to be following the wrong players and announcers may be reacting to something entirely different on another part of the field.
Perhaps things will be different in 2022, but for now, fans will just have to wait until the fall to catch the Nittany Lions on TV again.
