I find the Friday, November 15 matchup of UCLA and Washington interesting since that will be a 6:00 p.m. local time kickoff on a Friday.

If Rutgres plays any more Friday night games they may just decide to play HS football.

Maybe, maybe not. This is just the list of games on (network) FOX. According to this article - https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5511096/2024/05/22/big-ten-friday-fox-schedule/ - there is going to be 16 games in total on Fridays for the Big Ten. The remaining ones which will be on FS1 or BTN in addition to the two Black Friday games (one on CBS, one on NBC) will be announced in about 1-2 weeks.

 

[doctornick]

To be more clear, there is apparently a total of 16 Friday games for the Big Ten this year:
9 on FOX
1 on CBS (Black Friday)
1 on NBC (Black Friday)
5 on either FS1 or BTN

Only the first 9 games were announced today.

Praise God. I hope they tell them again that they will never play a home game on a Friday Night. Friday football is for HS.

Amen to that! What are college programs going to do when high schools can no longer afford any sports. The Friday games are very short sighted.

 

[LandoComando]

To be more clear, there is apparently a total of 16 Friday games for the Big Ten this year:
9 on FOX
1 on CBS (Black Friday)
1 on NBC (Black Friday)
5 on either FS1 or BTN

A Black Friday game, especially if it's a road game, would be great. It's also highly unlikely we end up on BTN or FS1 on a Friday. FOX isn't passing on us.

All of NYC and NJ will be staying up until 2:30 am to watch that one.

Surprised to see UCLA have back-to-back Friday nighters.

So basically nine Big 10 games, 18 team slots but no PSU, Michigan, OSU, Wisconsin, Minnesota or Indiana. To replace those slots they are stuck with 2 Rutgers, 2 Purdue, 2 MSU along with 2 Oregon / 2 Washington/ 2 UCLA. It’ll be interesting to see the viewership #’s for games that don’t involve the west coast teams.

When one sees the lousy matchups for a couple…..sure seems like Penn State told them to pound salt.

After an MLB playoff game.

 

[doctornick]

Praise God. I hope they tell them again that they will never play a home game on a Friday Night. Friday football is for HS.

Except for all the high schools that play on Saturdays because they don’t have lights. Which really isn’t that uncommon (my children’s high school doesn’t)

Well there’s still 7 more games to be announced so we’ll see. Admittedly though we don’t really have any away games that would work well for Friday night so I don’t think we’ll be in any of the FS1/BTN choices. While I don’t expect it, I wouldn’t be completely shocked to see PSU/Maryland moved to Friday as the second Black Friday game (Nebraska/Iowa will be one) - though if I had to bet, I’m guessing the other Black Friday game will be Illinois/NW from Wrigley.

They know their role. Doubt they're mad about it. Schools in major cities playing on Friday night makes sense. Easy for fans.

 

[doctornick]

So we did manage to avoid any Friday night games. Additional Friday games for the Big Ten are...

Friday, Aug. 30
FAU at Michigan State | 7pm ET/6pm CT/4pm PT | Big Ten Network
Western Michigan at Wisconsin | 9pm ET/8pm CT/6pm PT | FS1

Friday, Sept. 6
Western Illinois at Indiana | 7pm ET/6pm CT/4pm PT | Big Ten Network
Duke at Northwestern | 9pm ET/8pm CT/6pm PT | FS1

Friday, Nov. 29
Minnesota at Wisconsin | 12pm ET/11am CT/9am PT | CBS
Nebraska at Iowa | 7:30pm ET/6:30pm CT/4:30pm PT | NBC

Also, not a Friday (but a Thursday) but this was the other game moved to a weekday evening that was announced today:

Thursday, Aug. 29
Howard at Rutgers | 6pm ET/5pm CT/3pm PT | Big Ten Network

(The Minnesota and Illinois home games on 8/29 were previously announced)
