NFL added Thursday night FB. Now, the B1G is going bigger into Friday nights. Ugh...

Michigan did not agree to it. Those with the deepest pockets are allowed to say no.

That is true, but now the NFL has Monday and added Thursday. B1G adding Friday.
NFL Thursdays encroached on our MACtion. Friday B1G's will interfere with high school ball and EMU... :(

Actually I wish the B10 would just stay on the weekends. If they're that horned up for added revenue maybe they can just slash the payroll of their coaches.

Already too much college and pro football on TV.
EMU ending the season with Tuesday/Wednesday/Tuesday games is absurd.
Attendance will be laughable.

That and we didn't really get a true bye week. More like bye days.

True, but at this time of year there are no wins.
We, and others, went up against UofM/MSU and attendance was poor. I wish our MIA game could have been a week night.
The last week of the season is UofM/OSU Saturday. Another no win for teams in MI or Ohio so the MAC doesn't play games on that day (Plus the MACC is the following Friday).
Truth be told, there are ZERO good days. Sun, Mon and Thurs - NFL. Saturday are full of local teams like UofM, OSU, etc. Fridays belong to high schools. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are somewhat open but go against World Series, NBA, NHL, and other college games. And starting next Friday: college hoops.
