BIG TEN on Friday Nights? Oh yes starting in 2017.

Bad idea.
I'm against it. Michigan is against it. Harbaugh is against it.
We only need one of those data points to know the rest.
Not true. I disagreed with a lot of things our old AD did.We only need one of those data points to know the rest.
What would yours be? "Bama is against it. So the SEC is against it. So I'm against it"?
And really, however you want to look at it, it's a bad idea. We're not the MAC. We don't need the off day to get viewes

The ole "I know you are but what am I?" Nice.
I like the idea. Those games will get a few extra viewers every week than they would on Saturday.

Bad idea. Friday nights are for high school football.

Our local NBC TV station has a Friday night 15 minute high school football highlight and scores show, I'm shocked how empty many or sometimes most of the stands are!
Where are the kids, parents and boosters? Some schools have even recently updated or even rebuilt their facilities and still whole sections are empty. Big deal? Yes it is in many ways.
Now add 6 B1G games on Fridays with 12 teams and there are hundreds or better yet thousands of people who might choose to stay home and watch a game rather than going out to support the kids and sports programs.
I wondered when this was going to happen in the Midwest well it starts in 2017.

I just can't see OSU wanting to host or play on Friday. They will, just to be a good conference member I suppose.
My perception could be totally wrong, but I always thought Ohio, Pennsylvania, & Texas were the most rabid high school football states.

When ESPN years back really created the "non Saturday" NCAA football games on Thursday then Tuesday and now virtually seven days (looking at my Vegas Rotation sheet, TU, WED, TH, FRI, SAT this week). Well some teams jumped on it because they became THE exclusive game on TV and it worked! And their athletic departments collected a lot of money to upgrade their programs and it spread.I just can't see OSU wanting to host or play on Friday.

Remember Boise State and VT early on? They had a great run early on but now everyone wants a piece of this pie and it's not really a big deal now.
And yes PA, OH and TX are rabid high school states now along with FLA and CAL among others. So when will this NFL, NCAA, High School (yes they play play on national television too) get over saturated?
It's really a shame in a way but it's here now.

MAC and PAC schools could use this.
OSU and Michigan are getting viewers regardless.

Good thing there are other schools in the conference then. It's 6 games a year. These schools will get one every other year at most. Not exactly the end of the world.

Yes maybe for now (depending on ratings) but it will add to an already creeping involvement of college into Friday nights.Good thing there are other schools in the conference then. It's 6 games a year. These schools will get one every other year at most. Not exactly the end of the world.
.....There were 53 games on that night in 2014, 63 in 2015 and 65 this year. The Big 12, Pac-12 and Atlantic Coast Conference are among the leagues that play some games on Fridays.....
So the 65 becomes 71 and that's if there aren't more by other conferences or independents getting into Friday nights or current ones increasing the number of games.
Four D-1A games this past *Friday *ACTUALLY THURSDAY alone including OKL/IOWA ST and UCLA/COL and all on TV. I could easily keep Friday's for high school. .....but I'm not pulling down the hundreds of thousands of dollars involved either.
*Friday there were three D-1A games including Boise State
-
Both those games were on Thursday, which is the better day for this.

Yes you're correct I was on the wrong line.
Tues 2, Wed 1, Thur 4, Fri 3 for 10 D-1A non Saturday games....I believe the NCAA Thursday games might be cutting into the Thursday NFL games a little bit, 5 last Thursday!
Personally I don't like Thursday NFL games either it does water down the whole product. .....oh and don't miss the BROWNS vs Ravens Game this Thursday.
