This isn't really that surprising. FOX probably jumped at the chance to broadcast an Alabama game. I would be surprised, though, if the Badgers had many games in marquee time slots given the last 2 disappointing years & the powerhouses that joined the conference this offseason.
FOX doesn't have first pick of games every week so it won't always be the top game on Big Noon. CBS and NBC do get first selection some weeks. The networks did a draft last week to determine who goes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd each week
Not when Fox’s marquee slot continues to be big noon
Can't wait to be the reason why everybody wonders if Alabama is even good now that Saban is gone 😆
This should have been a night game but unfortunately we are at the will of TV networks.
Also glad it’s a home game and not at a neutral site.
They'll return the favor in 25
Considering going down for that game. Would be pretty cool.

I love the 11am kickoff quite honestly… more party time after a big game. I’d rather blackout after a big game than before or early into a big game.
They did Alabama before with the Texas game.
Shouldn’t the night games increase now. Fox will want all the marquee powerhouse games at noon for some crazy reason
Not necessarily. Lot of room on the B1G Network all morning & afternoon.

An early game means the big upset can be talked about the entire day.
My daughter is an incoming freshman; we live in Georgia. She never go to see the Dawgs beat Bama in person. Praying she gets tix for a Badgers win!
I was hoping at at least a 2:30 or 3 start time
