Good schedule. I think it strikes a good balance between extremely tough games and a couple we can work to fix things in these games. Iowa State & Iowa back-to-back will be tough but at least there's a week in between.
Thinking already to TV: All home regular season games will be on ESPN+ per the Valley's contract (last year of current deal but widely expected to be extended). Some games, most notably the Iowa State & Creighton games, will likely get tabbed to also be on MC22. For away games, the Saint Louis & NDSU games should also be on ESPN+. The biggest opportunities come from the Iowa & Minnesota games with the new Big 10 contract. The Minnesota game is almost certainly destined for Peacock, but the Iowa game with the interest in Caitlin Clark cross your fingers for a national TV slot.
