NBC is hoping they can gain some subscriptions this season and credit to them, putting a top five team that includes the most exciting player in the country is good way to do it. A subscription to Peacock is $5.99 a month and the Hawkeyes only have games on the streaming service for two months. There are a few games that are worth the price. A trip to West Lafayette in early January is an intriguing, while February has a home matchup against Michigan and the highly-anticipated road trip to Bloomington to face a top ten Hoosiers team.
