Monday May 21, 2018 - LINCOLN, Neb. (KMTV) On Monday evening, Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos said on AM 590's "Sports Nightly" that the Huskers' contest against Minnesota in 2020 & 2021 will be played on Black Friday. 

When the games were originally announced, the two were scheduled to play on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. 

"We will in 2020 and 2021 play on Friday but it'll be Minnesota, which is fine," Moos said. "And then we go into the Iowa series from then on out."

The move to Black Friday will continue NU's streak of playing on the day after Thanksgiving that started back in 1990. 

The 2020 game will be played in Minneapolis, while the 2021 game will be in Lincoln. 

Moos also said he will work to keep the Iowa game on Black Friday as well when the Huskers and Hawkeyes resume their series that weekend in 2022. He also discussed the rivalry between the schools. 

"I know there's a bit of one now but that needs to be our rivalry where it's easy enough for our fans to go to each place," Moos said. "Once we came to the Big Ten we didn't have a traditional rival so that's going to be in the works. That will be scheduled long after I'm gone and I mean on the face of the earth."

I for one am happy to hear that Nebraska will maintain the Black Friday tradition.  For ratings/fan viewership opportunity reasons, I do not like the idea of having two B1G-W Black Friday games.  I think, instead, that it would be great if we had one each in the B1G-W and B1G-E.  

I'm assuming that The Game would not be moved to Friday so that leaves either PSU/UMD or RU/MSU.  

Personally, I think that PSU/MSU and UMD/RU makes more sense than PSU/UMD and RU/MSU.  Those four have to play some combination of each other because Indiana (Purdue) and tOSU/M (each other) are already booked for the final weekend.  

2017:
  • PSU beat UMD 66-3
  • MSU beat RU 40-7
2016:
  • UMD beat RU 31-13
  • PSU beat MSU 45-12
2015:
  • MSU beat PSU 55-16
  • UMD beat RU 46-41 (in something of an upset as RU came in 4-7 while UMD was 2-9)
2014:
  • RU beat UMD 41-38 (another upset as RU came in 6-5 while UMD was 7-4)
  • MSU beat PSU 34-10

So in the four years that Rutgers and Maryland have been in the league, these four teams in the last weekend have gone:
  • 3-1 Michigan State:  2-1 vs PSU, 1-0 vs RU
  • 2-2 Penn State:  1-2 vs MSU, 1-0 vs UMD
  • 2-2 Maryland:  2-1 vs RU, 0-1 vs PSU
  • 1-3 Rutgers:  1-2 vs UMD, 0-1 vs MSU

I believe our previous AD also agreed with Delaney and was not in touch with the fans.   If UNL said no, I don't believe Delaney pushes it.

I know the B12 really liked the symmetry of having both Nebraska-Colorado from the B12 North, and Texas-Texas A&M from the B12 South, played on T+1.
Personally I'd rather my team play on Saturday T+2 (unless of course we're talking about the traditional Thanksgiving evening timeslot for UT-A&M).  But a lot of folks liked those two B12 games on that Friday.
And yes, I'd assume Michigan-Ohio State would only be played on Saturday.  I'd be pretty annoyed if it were moved to T+1 and I'm not even a B1G fan.

odd to me that some traditions are sacred, but most others are cast away with little regard

I think Michigan/Ohio State should be played on the first Friday of the season, with Michigan being in the West and Ohio State in the East.
This way the game would not be the week before they are destined to meet in the championship game. Oh wait...

It seems likely that Nebraska's final-week games against Minnesota in 2020 and 2021 will ultimately be played on Black Friday. 

That schedule, however, is not yet set in stone, Gophers athletic director Mark Coyle told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. 

His comments to the paper came days after Nebraska AD Bill Moos made it sound on the radio as if those dates had been finalized, but Coyle said that is not the case. 

“We’d have those conversations with the Big Ten Conference," he told the Star Tribune. "We’d be open to those conversations. … We wouldn’t be opposed to that.’’

Coyle stressed that, even though he's supportive of moving the two dates — 2020 in Lincoln and 2021 in Minneapolis — to the day after Thanksgiving, it would require further coordination with the Big Ten office.

Why would the Big Ten Conference object?

Only one possible reason I could speculate on for the Conference to object is if it prefers Iowa v. Wisconsin for T-Day +1.

Nebraska and Iowa are working to restore their Black Friday* games as soon as 2022.

Multiple sources have told The World-Herald that NU called Iowa and flatly said it wouldn’t play on Black Friday no matter what, though Barta tempered that Tuesday.

“It wasn’t an ultimatum," Barta said. “It was ongoing discussions about what they thought they wanted and what they thought was best.

“We landed on a compromise that wherever the home game was, that school would decide whether it was on Friday or Saturday. In the meantime, the schedules had to be set, so that got rotated."

In 2020 and 2021, Iowa will end the season against Wisconsin, and Nebraska will face Minnesota. The Hawkeyes and Huskers will still play on Black Friday in 2018 and 2019.

With future schedules soon to be released, another rotation is expected that will return Nebraska vs. Iowa on Black Friday.
