I think Nebraska has played a few Friday nights over the last couple years. Out at Buttgers under interim head coach/exonerated alleged wife choker Mickey Joseph

It sounds like Joel is couting on fans falling asleep during the Friday night game and waking up in time for the Big Noon game with their TV still on FOX.

Friday night might help ratings, but it will hurt in game attendance.

Does Joel think that when we turn OFF our TVs on Friday night that when we turn them on Saturday morning, they will be on the same channel?
I don't think he knows how TVs work.

That game was pretty damn fun. I was in Philly for work and it wasn’t too bad of a drive up to Piscataway.
FWIW their stadium was very full and the fans there couldn’t have been any cooler.

It's been a thing since like 2017, except the games were on FS1 or BTN instead of Fox. I’m pretty sure Eichorst originally said that Nebraska would be open to hosting some and he got a ton of pushback. Not sure if he eventually came out and said Nebraska would not host, or if it wasn’t until Moos was hired and he said NU wouldn’t host them.
A lot of the big brands flat out told the Big Ten and Fox they would not host Friday night games. OSU, Michigan, PSU, Michigan State, and Wisconsin all for sure said they would refuse to host them. And pretty much only Purdue, Illinois, Rutgers, and like Maryland have had the Friday night home games.
What will be interesting is if Fox is able to force the bigger brands into hosting. It probably wouldn’t be anything new for the former Pac-12 schools to have them, in addition to the 4 mentioned above, as the Pac-12 has had a lot of those games with even their bigger brands. The new TV deal has already been able to force some of the schools that refused November night games into playing them, so the TV deal may be able to force them into hosting these Friday night games too.

I was at that game as well. Really fun time. We sat a few rows up from Christian Peter.

College football is in the business of making money. It’d be nice if they’d just stay away from Friday’s and give that to high school football.

That game was a great time except for the damn train horn sound blaring in my ear for third downs and when anything remotely good happened for Rutgers.

Nebraska, Ohio State, and Michigan all told the Big Ten that they weren't interested in hosting Friday night home games. But they have ZERO ability to say no to Big Ten road games.
I'm also not sure they can even say NO to Big Ten home games on Friday nights anymore as well. The amount of money coming in is insane.
I'm not a fan of the idea, but if Nebraska were to play a team like Wisconsin on a Friday night in late November, I wouldn't complain as most high school football is done by then.

It's funny how some Big Ten teams want to be a whore for money but don't want to get fucked aka play Fridays. Why do you idiots think the conference with the worst offenses in major college football makes the most money? Because their overlords make them do unsavory things like play Fridays or EXCLUSIVE on The Cock

I'm for more football on more days but I'd rather leave Friday nights to the B12, Mountain West or ACC.
