Big Ten Announces Six Friday Night Games For 2017

MORE: Big Ten football doesn’t belong on Friday night

The conference announced Tuesday the Friday night primetime schedule for 2017 will be as followed:

Sept. 1: Washington at Rutgers

Sept. 1: Utah State at Wisconsin

Sept. 8: Ohio at Purdue

Sept. 29: Nebraska at Illinois

Oct. 13: Northwestern at Maryland

Oct. 27: Michigan State at Northwestern

While 95 Big Ten games are currently featured on TV, the conference wants to have more national on-air time. This deal, which includes six Friday games per year for the next six years, should certainly help the cause.
