I'd imagine it will be a Fox event with the Big East home games airing on FS1 and the B10 home games airing on BTN, which Fox owns 51% of. There will be 4 doubleheaders on 4 consecutive nights from Tuesday, Nov 17-Fri, Nov 20.
It will feature 1 really good game:
Georgetown @ Maryland
3 decent games of regional midwestern interest
Xavier @ Michigan
Creighton @ Indiana
Iowa @ Marquette
2 "huh?" games
Illinois @ Providence
Nebraska @ Villanova
2 games to laugh at
Penn State @ DePaul
Rutgers @ St. John's
Butler and Seton Hall are sitting it out from the Big East. Ohio State, Purdue, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan State, and Northwestern won't participate from the Big Ten.
Also, Jon Rothstein resported the ACC/A10 challenge @ Barclays will begin in December 2015. There will only be 2 games each year from 2015-17. I'd like to see Pitt get into this event.
I like the idea of the Big Ten's secondary conference challenge with the Big East. It makes a lot of sense for them and Fox. With ESPN controlling the TV rights of the ACC and SEC, and with a potential ACC Network in the works, I'd like to see an ACC/SEC challenge in addition to the ACC/Big Ten challenge.
