LOL, really? You act like the game time was decided this week...
When the Big Ten scheduled this game months ago, they knew the NFC Championship game would be played at the same time, 2pm CT. They also know that a majority of Iowans are NFC fans, so there was a major risk at putting the Iowa game at this time, but they did it anyways. The entire basketball TV schedule this season has been a joke. Iowa plays 1 Saturday home game before March in the Big Ten. Unaccpetable.
I asked Big Ten Mark TV on Twitter why this was, the main answer is that BT coaches mandate a 2 day minimum of preparation for each game, since Indiana played Thursday night, this game had to be on Sunday. My response would be quit putting Iowa's opponents on Thursday nights so that some of these games can be on Saturdays.

Exactly. Wanna be p*ssed at someone? Get p*ssed at the Bears and Packers for making it to the conference title game, thereby leaving you torn as to who to watch. They DID decide that a week ago![]()
The mfing Hawkeye game is the same time as the Bears Packers game!?
What leverage does Iowa have exactly? Iowa and Indiana should be hidden by the NFC title game. This game will be an abomination to basketball.
