As has been said, many small town teams are a big deal. Something has to give. I get it.
Then maybe the drive and prep time to stadium, early work release. Get that too.
Now this being the 400th sellout game, its a hot ticket even for those who can't always get a good ticket, it does them no favors either.
It does highlight teams for exclusive games getting exposure where you may not get it on a Saturday in other areas where local teams are competing on TV time.
But the negatives are there. My understanding is only mich and osu are hardly ever playing on a Friday, yet they do.
Its a money game, play the big draws on Saturday. We are close to that draw, and likely will get there as well once again. But we are owed nothing we can't earn.
