Despite a raucous atmosphere last Friday night at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium, the school is not looking for a repeat event.
Athletic director Troy Dannen said Tuesday that he sent a letter to Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti, requesting that Nebraska no longer host Friday night games other than its traditional Black Friday contest against rival Iowa, which takes place every other year.
Dannen, speaking on the Huskers Radio Network, said he wrote the letter with support from university chancellor Rodney Bennett and University of Nebraska system president Jeffrey Gold.
Nebraska canceled in-person classes Friday to allow students to prepare for the game against Illinois, which drew the school's 400th consecutive sellout crowd.
