he start time for Saturday's (Oct. 3) Big Ten conference opener between Illinois and Nebraska has been pushed back to 3:02 p.m. CT. The Illini-Huskers game, which was originally scheduled for a 2:42 p.m. kick, will now start 3:02 p.m. and will be televised live on BTN.
The time shift is due to a change in the Michigan at Maryland game, which was originally scheduled to be played at 7 pm CT but was moved to 11 am CT due to the impending weather impact of Hurricane Joaquin in the area on Saturday. To provide as much time as possible following the conclusion of BTN's 11 am CT Minnesota-Northwestern and Michigan-Maryland games, BTN requested, and Illinois and Nebraska agreed, to the 3:02 p.m. CT kickoff.
With two games now being broadcast at 11 am CT on BTN, fans can go to btn.com/gamefinder to find their game locally.

That's sounds like major punishment and miserable experience (and I do drink myself).
