I thought maybe the NFL opening game had an effect last week but this is 2 weeks in a row.

With as many games as they have scheduled I don’t understand why they wouldn’t air at least 1 on Thursday. For as long as I can remember there were at least 2-3. What gives?

Yeah hopefully Thursday night college football starts back soon. I guess they don't want to compete with the beginning of the NFL season.

But I'd much rather watch a crappy Thursday night college football game than a crappy Thursday night NFL game. Which the NFL games almost always are.

NFL Thursday games killed college Thursday ball.

I have AT&T and they don’t carry NFL Network so any college football game is a nice alternative

College football usually has a decent Friday night game or two.

From the general schedule so far and glancing ahead of seems a lot of the better Thursday match ups in college past are the types of games on Friday now which used to be a trash slot. It's the NFL effect finally kicking in

Yeah Thursday used to be the trap night for all the ranked teams in years past. There was always what seemed like more upsets. Shame the conferences have decided to move away from scheduling those

Unsure why you're being downvoted because you're right.

ESPN needs to bring back the Thursday night college game pronto. I can settle on an NFL game if I have to but the NFL network is janky af.

Starting next Thursday College games will be back. I could understand not scheduling one for last week with the NFL Season opener. But for a game on the NFL Network? Meh

Probably don't want to go up against the debate, either.
