Quote:The Big Ten will begin playing Friday night football games this fall, but Delany acknowledged the league has received considerable blowback for playing on what traditionally has been the night for high school football.

Michigan and Penn State have said they won’t participate. Northwestern was supposed to play two games this season, but complained and got both changed. Nebraska plays at Illinois this season on Sept. 29, a Friday.

In the future, Delany said, he expects just two Friday games per year beyond Labor Day weekend, with as much as 10 months notice for schools to prepare.

As for the total number of night football games, the Big Ten in recent years has had roughly 15 to 18 such kickoffs. Delany said “the low 20s’’ is the probable number in the future.
