2020 & 2021 Big Ten sched drop

Neb-Iowa hatred on the Friday after Turkey Day is no more.  Anyone no why?  As an outsider I liked the series, watched it most years while ignoring relatives on a slow Friday.

We've also gone almost straight SEC with tons of early season conf games, except in week 2.  I scratch my head at Wisc-PSU.

Nebraska will not face Iowa to end the regular season in 2020 and 2021.

The Huskers released their conference football schedules for those seasons on Tuesday, and they will face Minnesota instead of the Hawkeyes during the final week. Those games will also take place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving instead of Black Friday.

Nebraska and Iowa have met on the day after Thanksgiving each year since the Huskers joined the Big Ten in 2011 and will continue to do so through 2019. Each team has three victories over that stretch with the Hawkeyes winning the last two meetings.

The 2020 season will be the first Nebraska doesn't play on the day after Thanksgiving since 1989. The Huskers faced Oklahoma on Black Friday from 1990-95 and Colorado from 1996-2010.

Nebraska will also open its 2020 season with a conference game. The Huskers will face Purdue on the opening weekend that year, NU's first season-opening conference game since 2003 against Oklahoma State.

These conference games are added to nonconference games that have already been scheduled for those seasons. In 2020, the Huskers will face Cincinnati (Sept. 12) and Central Michigan (Sept. 19) in nonconference play with one spot on the schedule left to fill. In 2021, NU plays Northern Illinois (Sept. 4), Buffalo

I do not know why.  It will probably come out in the next few days.
I do know that many Hawkeye fans didn't seem to care for the Friday game.  I think it's a great time slot for added exposure for the program, be it Nebraska or the opponent.
Just one more bit of tradition tossed aside.
I'm not happy about it.

Wouldn't count out Nebraska playing on black Friday yet.  Last several schedules showed them playing Saturday when released and both schools agreed to move them.  Might not happen, but still unclear.

Thursday night, September 2, 2021. Ohio State at Minnesota for the Big Ten's super Hyped Up Conference Opener!

I always preferred a mid-October Axe game. The drive to Madison on 94 is much prettier in mid-October than it is at the end of November.

Gopher football on T+1 sure beats the hell out of going shopping.

It looks like they stuck with the same Parity schedule cross-overs for all six years from 2016 to 2021

OSU-Neb
Mich-Wisc
PSU-Iowa
MSU-NW
MD-Minn
Rut-ILL
Indy-Pur

And they are finishing the 6 year rotataion so that everybody will have played everybody at least twice in six years.

What will be interesting how will they do the next cycle starting in 2022.

Ferentz said he likes the Black Friday game. http://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/2017/09/12/iowa-hawkeyes-football-black-friday-nebraska-cornhuskers-huskers-wisconsin-badgers/659014001/ Back when Nebraska was winning, I think he was not so fond of it. The 6-day interval left one less day to prepare.

Do the scheduling gods regard Iowa-Nebraska, Iowa-Wisconsin, and Nebraska-Minnesota games equivalent rivalries? Or, are Iowa-Wisconsin, and Nebraska-Minnesota considered bigger rivalry games?

I regard Wisconsin as Iowa's biggest rival, but I live in NE Iowa. Traditionally Minnesota was considered Iowa's most important rival. I think the shine went off the Minnesota series after Iowa started to dominate it in the 1980s.

That is the traditional spot. UW/Iowa was the end game.

Not much else to say.  Delaney is a dope, as the conferences solidify themselves as TV networks posing as Conferences.
