Interesting. Only 5 B10 conference games on Friday night.
And only 7 Friday night games on Fox total.
I am wondering what is going on too. No games on Oct. 24 and 31 make sense because of the World Series, and on Oct 3 FOX could air a NLDS game. Be interesting to see what FOX puts on the other weeks without a game. Also, odd that a majority of the 7 games start at 9:00 PM EST instead of 8:00.
My suggestion & this is only a suggestion when FOX have World Series is BTN show Big Ten & FS1 show Big 12 would be my option.
Probably push back from B10 schools (and maybe NBC and CBS as well). Many B10 schools don’t like Friday games, the cold weather B10 schools generally don’t like November night games, and fewer B10 conference games on Fridays means a better selection for NBC and CBS.
NBC putting Navy@ND at night means that’s another November Saturday when a B10 conference games doesn’t have to be at night.
Fantastic article Richard I fully support My Michigan Wolverines having desire of not playing on Friday also I fully support cold weather teams that have no interest playing in November plus that good news for CBS & as well NBC too.
The K-State/Zona game will be a non-conference game. Their home-and-home was scheduled before Zona left the Pac-12.
No concerns over it Marcus Buddy.
