Big Ten football won't be just on Saturdays anymore.
As part of its deal with ESPN/ABC and Fox, the conference has agreed to play six games on Friday nights during the 2017 season, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delaney told the Chicago Tribune.
“All things considered,” Delany said, “we thought it was worthwhile to dip our toe in the water.”
The games will be selected later this week.

According to Delaney, three of the games will be between Big Ten teams and three games will be between non-league games in September and October.
