O/T: Ugh!! B1G adding Friday night FB games
http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/.../93175022/

Now I think they are at one, the first weekend of the college FB season (Labor Day weekend). MSU has been doing that.

In 2017 they will do six Friday night prime time games.

All these weeknight games happening, Saturdays will soon be empty. We should move our games back to the weekend to take advantage.

UofM/Ohio St exempt per the article.

They'll probably be targeting the Illinois's, Purdues, etc.

I don't ever think they'll ever steal Tuesdays or Wednesdays from us.

They lose recruits to MAC schools playing on week nights so now they want a piece of midweek action.

Hey get with it man, Twitter is a respectable source and every collegiate institution uses it to promote its brand.

The rest of the Big 10 should be pissed UofM is exempt.

Even when UofM was in the CCHA for hockey, it felt like they never traveled to other CCHA venues. In my 4 years at WMU, I can recall UofM coming to Lawson once during the regular season. Once. And they were our conference mates.
