Is the Big Ten waiving their no November night games rule? I know it’s only Nov 1 but Illinois at Ohio State at 8pm is definitely a B1G night November game.

Saturday, Oct. 4
Nebraska at Michigan State
8 p.m. ET, ABC or ESPN or ESPN2

Glad this is a night game, the one against Boise a few years ago was incredible. If CMU vs. Ohio is a 12 or 1pm game (which I assume it will be), I’ll be able to hit both of my schools.
