[NU Sports] ABC regional games

[s.fridley at comcast.net]

My understanding is a little different.  Gameplan still includes the Big Ten conference in its advertising.  Additionally, its FAQ (on DirecTV's website) states that Gameplan consists of two major components:  the regionalized ABC games (like OSU/Michigan) showing on ABC in some parts of the country and Gameplan in the other areas, and the regional, syndicated games (like NU/Illinois) that aren't on ABC, but were ESPN+ games that would show up sometimes on Gameplan as well as being carried over the air by local broadcasters.

So, it's the second group of games - the former ESPN+ games - that won't be around on Gameplan anymore.  If ABC has the rights to a game - which they will for OSU/Michigan, for example - it will be on ABC for much of the country and Gameplan everywhere else.

Probably those regionalized ABC games are the only Big Ten HOME games that will be on gameplan this year.
