Very disappointed in how few games are going to be on TV, especially the non-conference games. Would think that the BTN would enjoy utilizing a large inventory of live games to draw viewers to the channel…
I think it’s about time Barry Alvarez wakes up and brings back baseball at Wisconsin. The only school in the Big Ten that doesn’t have a baseball team. He claims Wisconsin doesn’t have the money to bring back a baseball team, but when they want to spend 70 million dollars to make improvements to Camp Randall Stadium they seem to find some money laying around.
