B1G schools don’t seem to mind the early kickoffs and its ends up usually being the only quality matchup in the time slot. Compared to prime time audience split up between solid matchups on 3-4 different channels.

I’d rather they try to bring back good games on Thursday nights though like we had in the 2000’s. Friday nights have never been great for TV audiences anyway.

I think a big reason behind Fox now pushing this is due to Nielsen, the ratings measurement company, switching up how the measure in last 2 years to include more out of home measurement (ie bars and restaurants). This obviously helps sports and particularly Friday/Saturday night viewership

Problem is the NFL now has thursday night football, so you won't get premier games on that night in college

I don't mind 1-2 good games on Friday night. Could free up some time on Saturday to watch teams you don't get to see as often
