So far he is really pushing big 12 Mexico, new halftime show for the championship game and brand refresh
Once a season is annoying but doable to get extra $$$$ out of TV networks and maintain #3 ranking for CFB. I DO NOT support turning into MACTION
Why? I like it a lot. Less competition for eyeballs
Thursday football will not do good numbers going against NFL games. If they do one a game a week early in the year before the NFL kicks off I could see it being really beneficial. After that the money would have to be REALLY good for me to be on board (and I probably won't ever be)
That's not what he's talking about.
We've played plenty of Thursday and Friday night games. The other power conferences do it. To have one Big 12 game on each of those nights would give the league a ton of exposure.
Also, how did Bowlsby get awards named after him? He was absolutely terrible at his job
Big 12 should own Friday night on ESPN. Thursday is a waste of time with the NFL.
All it would require is rules for scheduling where schools can only play 1 weekday home game each season. Additionally, every BYU home game should be in the “After Dark” slot

If the choice is a game on linear TV for a Thursday or Friday night (ESPN), that is preferable to having to a streaming game on Saturday on ESPN+.
I generally agree, but the Thursday night NFL game is usually absolute trash. I miss quality Thursday night CFB.
Loved Thursday/Friday night games as a student. It felt like an extended weekend when you had your full Saturday.
Same. And as an adult I love the idea of an away game thurs/Fri night. It’s not home so you don’t have to worry about making plans/tailgating, but you can still watch and have a full Saturday open
We have to be the conference that isn't quite top shelf, but willing to do stuff the other conferences won't.
