This is great. Maybe it will make creepy people not want to watch kids play football anymore. |

I figure it will be lesser games to get exposure on their network. |

I'm going to guess every school but Indiana and maybe Minnesota(who seems to actually like these weird start times as they normally play on the first Thursday of the season) will tell them they don't want to host a game.

The bottom feeders like Purdue and Rutgers will jump at the chance. Why do you think they are finally putting lights up at Purdue? |

No they won't.They are putting up lights because the Big Ten mandated it as part of the new television contract. Though, the main reason is because they want to have more 3:30pm Saturday games and even more night games on Saturday. There is no benefit to a Friday night game outside of the tv networks having more live content to show. |

There are 6 Friday night games total in the conference per year. They will suck but they aren't putting lights up so they can host a Friday night game once every 2 or 3 years. |

I thought only high schools were allowed to play on Fridays, only college on Saturdays, and only pros on Sundays. |
