I have read a lot of posts complaining about 11am starts; and I agree, they suck for a long list of reasons Huskerboard has already compiled in other threads. But the reasons such as, "Nebraska needs to earn better time slots", "when Nebraska is better, we get better start times", "when we are relevant...", "when Nebraska does this, that, or other, we will be on better times and better channels".
Ohio State is ranked #4 and hasn't been beaten in over a year, yet their game AT Purdue next weekend is at 11am on the BTN. OSU is nationally relevant and they have beaten everyone they've played for a long time.
My point, our crappy start times aren't because Nebraska sucks and needs to "earn it" it is because the teams the Huskers have played are irrelevant. Instead of Husker fans blaming our own team, maybe we could start to embrace our team and just recognize that not every B1G team is of national interest and it's NOT necessarily the Huskers' fault that the game is not shown to a broader audience....
