Wildcats' game at Virginia Tech to be televised by ESPNU
EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern's 2015 Big Ten/ACC Challenge matchup at Virginia Tech on Tuesday, Dec. 1 will tip off at 6 p.m. CT and will be televised live by ESPNU.
ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU will televise the 14 games of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge – including all 14 Big Ten schools – from Monday, Nov. 30 through Wednesday, Dec. 2.
All telecasts also will be available through WatchESPN, accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app, and streamed on televisions through Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox 360 or Xbox One to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider.
The matchup between the Wildcats and the Hokies will be the first ever between the schools.
The Big Ten captured last year's Commissioner's Cup, winning eight of the 14 matchups. The two conferences split the previous two events, winning six Challenge games each in 2012 and 2013. The ACC won the first 10 Challenges (1999-2008), while the Big Ten won the next three (2009-2011). In the event of a tie, the Commissioner's Cup remains with the conference that won the previous year.
