At this point I hope the NFL just unleashes and goes to 7 days a week. If these college assholes don’t respect high school football, which is their feeder system , then the hell with them. It’s like they have a death wish anyway.

Why? HS football isn't something everyone watches. There's about 60 games every week. A couple games on a Friday night isn't a big deal. They obviously believe people will watch if they're scheduling games. Why are the going to pay out money to televise HS games with the money they're already spending. None of your plan makes sense. You just don't like it.
The below article references a prior statement saying there would be 9 B1G games for the season. Not a surprise with the number of members and needing slots to show them.
Think the new additions would have a disproportionate share (at least at first) due to their lessor involvement in the Saturday noon games, and tOSU, UM, and PSU would continue to be “exempt”.
Big Ten to be included in Fox weekly Friday night college football games in 2024 | Report
Fox will reportedly air a college football game every Friday night next season using teams from a rotation of leagues that includes the Big Tenwww.freep.com
There are already a good number of HS games on the ESPN channels. I would argue what we don't need is a bunch more HS teams travelling the country to play FB games so they can be on TV.
You're right, I don't like the continual grab for more & more money by the networks at the expense of diminishing HS Footballs premier night. My plan as you surmise us "pie in the sky", more of a vent.
They don't have to travel the country. There are plenty of very competitive HS football conferences in Florida, California, Georgia, Texas, Ohio, Alabama, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and other states. The private schools like IMG, SJP, DeLasalle, Don Bosco Prep, and a few other schools from Florida, Maryland, and Texas do the bulk of travel football.
If I'm someone that enjoys going to watch the local HS football team, I can't imagine a Rutgers-Purdue game changing that.
Same. I grew up not knowing that HS football was played on Friday night. Somehow, throughout parts of the Lehigh Valley, HS and CFB coexisted on Saturdays.
Respect for owning that. I fully respect people just not liking things but understanding why they're happening.
Exactly. There are many places where HS football is attended by students, player and marching band families, and almost no one else. I've been to several games where there were more kids in visitor uniforms than adults in the visitor stands. On the flip side, in places where HS football is a community event, a college game on TV won't keep anybody home.
On Friday night I attend the best high school football game of the week in the greater Harrisburg area then back home to watch College football on TV. A great evening in the fall I look forward to it. Wake up early drive to Penn State for a home game. Don't get any better. Football Season
