After this season, Nebraska may be done with games on Friday night

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Ronnie Green told the NU Board of Regents during its meeting on Friday morning that the Nebraska football team does not plan to play any football games on Friday nights in Lincoln anytime soon.

There will be six Friday night games involving Big Ten Conference teams this year, including Nebraska playing at Illinois on Sept. 29.

After the Friday night games were announced there was immediate disappointment from high school football coaches and administrators, because Friday is a night when most high school teams play, and fans would have to make a decision on what to do.
