Someone should ask Jerry Recco on Twitter if any/all OOC games Rutgers plays will get radio coverage, hopefully the answer is yes. TV/streaming seems like an iffy proposition for any of these fluid OOC games (although it shouldn’t be that hard to set up a camera and stream, I have no faith that will happen). It would be nice to be able to listen in at least.
Will OOC games at least be on the radio?

- Start date
Of course they will be. And at the worst they’ll be on BTN Plus.
I don’t know about BTN plus. 5 days til a not officially documented opener, maybe they’ll announce streaming coverage via BTN plus at the last minute but not holding my breath. I’ll sign up for a month if they do though! Just can’t see getting production/announcers out to all these schools like they do in normal circumstances with everything being so fluid.
Although interestingly, was just perusing BTN.com and they do show a broadcast of FDU at Rutgers on BTN on the 27th, so it does seem they have their act together to broadcast these early games. And on the 25th, they show a bunch of other team openers on BTN, we just weren’t picked for a tv broadcast sadly. So hopefully we do see Sacred Heart Rutgers loaded into a BTN plus schedule in the next few days for those who want to watch the first game.
I can't imagine BTN+ isn't an option for 11/25...they probably have it already lined up but since it isn't announced, officially, they can't post it yet...
They’re not going to have a game without fans with zero video coverage somewhere.
Sacred Heart had a Covid issue so they are probably making 100% sure we can play the game
They might... I can see a contractual issue with broadcast rights. If you are BTN/FOX and select other games at the same time to broadcast.. do you want a KnightVision broadcast at the same time taking away possible viewers in this market?
I dunno.. but I wouldn't be surprised if there are issues like that to consider.
RU women opening at 11 am Wednesday on BTN+. I’ll take that as good sign there will be a men’s game later in the day. Otherwise, why play the game so early.
And there will obviously be BTN+ coverage.
And there will obviously be BTN+ coverage.
Looks like it will btn+ game if it happens. bTN released their schedule for on air and RU game is not included in a list of 6 consecutive games starting at 12PM
I can’t believe everyone doesn’t realize this.
Everyone? Not really. This is our 7th year in the conference - most low-profile non-conference games are on BTN Plus
Considering there was a time not that long ago when the only options were radio or in person, we’re spoiled now. I’m happy to pay $9.95 to watch what’s usually a handful of games.
If anyone doesn’t know the drill by now, there’s nothing left to say.
FWIW Sacred Heart’s site has it as TBD on Wednesday...

I think I liked it when I watched it 30+ years ago.
They also need refs and people to run the scoreboard and shot clock. These things get worked out
