The Big Ten will take a plunge, playing six games on Friday nights starting next season.
That's when its new television contract with ABC/ESPN and Fox begins.
But not all Big Ten schools will participate, apparently.
"Michigan is flat-out saying no to Friday night games, both home and road," the Chicago Tribune reports. "(Big Ten commissioner Jim) Delany said he believes the school simply prefers Saturday games for 'consistency of presentation.'"
U-M always has held sway over some television decisions -- often informally -- such as resisting home night games for years.
