Football Any precedent for moving game times?

As it stands, the badgers will be kicking off against USC at the same time as game 2 of the World Series. Is there any hope or precedent for that being changed? This seems like a lose/lose

The bucks just changed their game time for their home opener bc of the brewers, but idk if the NCAA moves like that

Wouldn’t be the NCAA. It would be television and the Big Ten. You can ask NBC if they want to move it.

Also Madison is not Milwaukee

I don’t see the Badgers moving because of the WS, but this is an NCAA vs MLB issue not 90 miles of distance issue.

It’s a tv network issue honestly

u/Puzzleheaded_Way7183 1d ago

True, but realistically the brewers are Wisconsin’s MLB team.

I saw that, that’s what got me thinking of this actually.

I think this is more to do with traffic logistics of Milwaukee than anything.

Highly unlikely

This seems like the right time for Picture-In-Picture technology.

Or... and here me out on this... just watch the World Series. Regular season Badger games happen 12 times a year, every year. The World Series for the Brewers has only happened twice in 56 years!

Sorry Badgers... but I'm dedicating my evening to the Brewers.

u/Puzzleheaded_Way7183 1d ago

Oh I’m 1,000% watching the brewers that night. I was just trying to get greedy with a double header 😂😂

u/Deerslyr101571 1d ago

I'm the guy that puts football (both college and NFL) on the back burner until the last out is recorded in the Brewers season. This is definitely the farthest it has gone. (I wasn't into football in 1982.)

Or...its 2026. Most people can have one going on the TV and the other goong on their phone or laptop.

Or...go to a sports bar.

My YouTube TV has Multi-View. During March Madness I can see 4 at once on the screen.

u/torpedoseal 1d ago

Nah just watch the badgers!

u/Deerslyr101571 1d ago

Sorry... still not convinced the product is good yet. In the interim, will focus my attention on a team that's in the hunt for something I've wanted to see my entire life.

u/Puzzleheaded_Way7183 1d ago

This.

For better or worse, I'll remember every game of this series for the rest of my life. There's a very small chance I'd care much about this USC game come 2027.

Looks like I have an excuse to put two big screens side by side in the living room.

u/samthedog99 1d ago

Some crappy streaming network probably won’t allow it.

u/pumpkinspruce 1d ago

It’s on NBC.

Brewers on the Big Screen, Badgers on the laptop.

u/sahurley 1d ago

Unless the TV networks can find a way to swap games, it's not too likely.

u/dirty_smart_man 1d ago

It’s more complex than the bucks game. The bucks game isn’t on a major network requiring moving other programming. With the badgers on nbc I would figure that would impact other programming (probably sports) than can’t easily be moved.

u/18mitch 1d ago

Watch one on the TV and the other on my iPad

u/Accomplished_Emu4273 12h ago

Watch football on TV and baseball on mobile phone simultaneously

u/TTBurger88 9h ago

Probably not. Bucks moved it as they are in very close proximity.

u/MKEmike43ver 1d ago

I have tickets to this game.. likely not going to go now to watch the World Series.

u/TTrain19915 17h ago

I don’t blame you in the slightest because I’d probably do the same thing but it’s going to suck if Camp Randall is dead for a ranked night game because we all care more about the Brewers lol

u/Ok_Section_9812 19h ago

I'm going with no because it involves a west coast team

0

u/Future-Ad2802 1d ago

I don't see why not. The Bucks just moved there gane so no conflict with game 1.

2

u/TTrain19915 17h ago

The Bucks just needed the NBA to agree to it. The Badgers need the Big Ten and NBC to agree to it. Not happening

u/Minimum-Border1672 14h ago

I dont think it will happen but they flex games all the time.

u/No_Solution_7940 1d ago

YouTube tv you can watch both. Or just record the football game and watch right after.
