At the end of May, NBC announced its early Big Ten schedule (along with three other games).
That initial release noted that future games “will be announced during the season,” likely 12 days before the game date.
But behind the scenes, NBC is likely targeting games each week, and the Action Network’s Brett McMurphy revealed the schedule prior to any possible flexing by other networks.
NBC’s B1G schedule, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ, if no games flexed to different networks. All times ET

Sept 30 Illinois at Purdue 7:30 pm

If none of these games are flexed, the schedule looks pretty strong in October when Fox is busy with the MLB Postseason. Of those unconfirmed games, most will probably be Peacock-exclusive.
