College football's TV schedule will not be
ironed out until May, but the games eligible for the Friday
night treatment will feature teams from the Big Ten, Big 12 and
Mountain West conferences.
Once reserved for high schools, Friday night football is not new
to the Big Ten, which started putting select games on Friday
nights in 2017. The Big Ten Network and Fox Sports 1 (FS1) have
carried those games in the past.
Now, games will be carried on Fox each week in the run-up to the
network's "Big Noon Saturday," its weekly show that competes
with ESPN's "College GameDay" and highlights its best game of
the week.
The college football games will fill an empty window after Fox
did not renew its agreement for WWE's "Friday Night Smackdown."
