Big Ten football is coming to Friday nights in 2017 and beyond.
The league's new TV contract, which begins next season, will include a package of six Friday night games. The news was first reported by the Chicago Tribune.
The Friday night games will be limited to September and October and won't include every team. Schools with huge stadiums, like Penn State and Ohio State, won't be asked to host them. And Michigan has declined to participate in Friday night games at home or on the road, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany told the Tribune.
