We all know that college sports are about money. That and television ratings. But for Michigan football, there is a legitimate reason not to play football on Friday nights.
And Michigan Head coach Jim Harbaugh sums it up perfectly.
Disappointed to learn Big 10 has chosen to infringe on Friday night High school Football. We should promote rather than create obstacles

I think we all understand the reasons why media executives and conference commissioners want Friday night games. They have worked well in the Pac-12 and other conferences have also had success with games on weeknights.
