Both Wednesday games for the Big Ten Tournament
20 total games with teams in the top 35, including 9 where both teams are in the top 35. Even some of the games where only one team is ranked have been great ratings draws in years past like Michigan/Illinois, Purdue/Indiana, Michigan/MSU, Wisconsin/Indiana, etc. They are really pushin' this thing, lol.
It could be worse, though! We have two games on Peacock compared to the following schools that have at least double that:
Purdue: 6
Indiana: 5
Michigan State: 5
Minnesota: 5
Ohio State: 5
Wisconsin: 5
Michigan: 4
