This in from the Big Ten Network. Now in its 7th year of covering Big Ten football, BTN has announced its talent lineup for games this season.
Host Dave Revsine will be joined in the studio by analysts Gerry DiNardo and Howard Griffith once again and they’ll guide viewers through both regional and national coverage.
The primary announce teams will be Matt Devlin/Glen Mason, Kevin Kugler/Chuck Long and Eric Collins/Derek Rackley. Mason, Long and Rackley will also make occasional appearances in the studio.
Other play-by-play men include Paul Burmeister who also calls games for NFL Network and NBC Sports Network and Chris Denari. Analysts include Eric Crouch, Brandon Williams, Antwaan Randle-El, Jon Jansen and others.
Dropped from the analysts is Chris Martin after Yahoo Sports discovered last year that he is a sports agent.
Here’s the Big Ten Network press release.
