Duke-Michigan Rematch Scrapped over Broadcast Rights, Texas Tech Steps in at Madison Square Garden
Duke replaces Michigan with Texas Tech after broadcast-rights disputes derailed the original matchup, keeping the Dec. 21 game on Prime Video.
- On Friday, Duke officially replaced its canceled December 21 matchup against Michigan with Texas Tech at Madison Square Garden, with the game streaming on Prime Video as part of the Blue Devils' three-game package.
- The Big Ten and Fox Sports contended they owned the broadcast rights, citing the game's location within the conference's television footprint; this dispute had clouded the matchup for three months.
- Attempting to bypass the conflict, officials tried moving the game to the Miami Marlins' loanDepot Park, a venue chosen outside the Big Ten's reach. However, all parties could not reach a final agreement.

- This game joins Duke's matchups against UConn on November 25 in Las Vegas and Gonzaga on February 20 in Detroit as part of Amazon's new college sports streaming package. Duke and Texas Tech previously faced off in December.
