Wisconsin Badgers vs. Penn State Nittany Lions | COLLEGE FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS | 9/26/26 | NBC Sports
How far ahead of a typical NBC Sports upload is the Wisconsin and Penn State reel? Roughly 38 times, going by first-day pace. "Wisconsin Badgers vs. Penn State Nittany Lions | COLLEGE FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS | 9/26/26 | NBC Sports" went up the day after the game, and it is moving at a speed a new video here does not usually reach. Most begin with a couple of thousand views.
The channel's large back catalog already draws hundreds of thousands of views a day, so one game recap is still only a small part of the daily total. The difference is in how it started. This one opened loud.
Both schools play in the Big Ten, and Big Ten football has been part of NBC's Saturday lineup since 2023.
