This is good news for the Hawks. While this year's schedule is tough, it's also the year Iowa gets 5 BTen home games vs 4 BTen away games. Worst case scenario would have had the Hawks playing Iowa St and multiple tough BTen games on the road, AT NIGHT. As it is the Hawks get the Clones, Michigan, NW and Nebraska during the daylight hours -- much preferable. The only potential away night game which remains is Wisky. We also still have potential to get Penn St. at Kinnick under the lights again -- after the last 2 Hawks-Nits games, what TV company wouldn't want THAT matchup?
 
I figured the PSU game would be tba. Go into it undefeated and it could be a later start.
Same with Wisconsin.
Nebraska doesn't really matter, because it's late in the season. They want to play during the best and warmest part of the day.

Oh, you mean like seat backs instead of aluminum benches? Or decent concession stands? The commercialization of game-days would be a lot easier to swallow if the revenue went toward fan-friendly improvements, rather than ridiculously high coach salaries.
