Big Ten Football tour ready to hit the road

For the fifth straight year, Dave Revsine, Gerry DiNardo and Howard Griffith will zigzag across Big Ten country to bring fans a 30-minute, on-site preview show from every campus on the Big Ten Football Preview Tour.

The BTN crew will travel more than 3,000 miles, adding a new stop in Lincoln, Neb., during the 15-day stretch.

The first preview show will air at 7 p.m. on Aug. 14 from the University of Wisconsin. Additional football preview content from the tour will be available at BTN.com, Facebook and YouTube. Fans can also virtually jump on the bus via Twitter by following @BigTenNetwork, @BTNDaveRevsine and @gerrydinardo from the road.

“Our preview shows are a great way to give fans an early glimpse of their favorite teams and rivals and see how the divisions might shape up,” BTN President Mark Silverman said. “We’re excited to add a new stop in Lincoln this year.”
