Friday Night Lights Coming to Ross-Ade Stadium

Friday night football is likely coming to Ross-Ade Stadium in the near future. This afternoon the Big Ten conference announced that starting in 2017 it will profile more teams on Friday night in prime time:

Beginning in 2017, the Big Ten will play six prime-time games on Fridays, likely to be televised by an ESPN channel, FOX, or FS1. None are slated to be BTN. The games will be limited to September and October. And the league is committed to six Friday games for the next six seasons as it begins a new television contract.
