Kiyoat Husker Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 We could call it Legends and Leaders Fridays 1 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Of course, the B1G has given Michigan the right to opt out of Friday night games. Quote Link to comment
jaws Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I doubt this goes over well in Ohio with HS football games primarily happening on Friday nights. I am sure high schools won't like the dip in attendance if they have to compete with the Buckeyes on a Friday night. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 This is idiotic. Let teams schedule Thursdays/Fridays if they want to, but don't force it onto teams. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 You know...this might not be a bad idea for a bump in attendance for some schools. Much easier to get students to a game at Illinois, Purdue, Indiana and so on, on a Friday night. They can still go home on Saturday if they want...they can still go out and party after the game Friday night, I think it might help them get butts in the seats. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 With the fan reaction seemingly being 99% negative, do we think that this will actually go through? Or will the school presidents/Delany cave? Quote Link to comment

I agree that this is a great idea for the lesser teams in the conference. It gets them on National TV during prime time, and could get a similar attendance they would get on Saturdays.

jaws Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 This is great for Purdue. I just hope Ohio State, Nebraska, Penn State, Michigan State, and Michigan tells the Big10 they won't play on Friday nights home or away. Quote Link to comment

SUHperman Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Only way this would bother me is if the BIG schedules one of our biggest home games of the year on a Friday (Wisconsin, Ohio State, etc) which I don't think will happen. If we have to play Illinois or Purdue on a Friday once every 3 years so be it. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Here is the deal...if I am at Illinois and we have a Friday night game, (not sure if these are non-conference or conference games) but it makes it a heck of a lot easier to attend class, come home and chill, do some tailgating, head to the game, be done with the game by 10pm and have the party start up around that time, which is when most of the fun starts in college as it is. This actually makes it an event as opposed to a burden. Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Stupid, stupid, stupid idea. Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Like I said... And this is a great point as well: If we have a home game on a Friday night, it'll effectively wipe out a weekend for recruiting. It's a terrible idea, and the schools with pull in the conference should do everything they can to squash it. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 This is the dumbest fricken scheduling decision they can make. Idiots. 1 Quote Link to comment
