Just let it be Iowa/UNL on Friday and leave the rest alone.

the Hawkeye AD just needs to get on board
and Big Jimmy Delaney just needs to get out of the way

So Wisconsin should lose more often, and stop clinching the B1G West by the end of October?
Yes, and Iowa should win more and make that the last game.

My idea for the B1G-W for Thanksgiving weekend:
Friday (day after Thanksgiving):
  • Iowa vs Iowa State (rotating home and home)
  • Nebraska vs Oklahoma (rotating home and home)
  • Northwestern vs Illinois (in Chicago)
Saturday:
  • Wisconsin vs Minnesota (rotating home and home)
  • Purdue vs Indiana (rotating home and home although if they decided to play it in Indianapolis that would be fun too)

That way all four B1G-W western teams get a rivalry game on the last weekend and we spread the games out over Friday and Saturday.  
But, Iowa State is not Iowa's rival. Doesn't work.

Who's idea was it for Nebraska and Colorado to start playing on T+1? N or C?

I would like to see the Iowa State series pared back to alternating years, or less. Iowa State replaced Notre Dame on the schedule. The Notre Dame series was more of a rivalry.

I am guessing if you read between the lines, the Big Ten is negotiating to have a double header on Black Friday starting in 2020.  Minnesota -Nebraska followed by Iowa-Wisconsin.

Then in   future years, the double header will be the new tradition just the actual opponents in each game will rotate between Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Minnesota

hopefully, Delaney, Moos, Barta, and King Barry can get together and convince the network that a tradition will be worth more $$$ in the long run than a rotating schedule

The Black Friday game for Nebraska actually predates 'N v CU'.   Nebraska and OU did the Black Friday thing from 1990-95, and once the XII schedule interfered with annual N v OU tilts,  CU became the Black Friday opponent.   

Nebraska played OU 5 times on Thanksgiving Day (including the '71 GOTC), the balance of their regular season games were in Mid-late November between '50s-'89, save the biggest upset in the series, the '59 game when Nebraska broke OU's zillion game conference winning streak on Halloween.

It'd be nice to see Nebraska retain the game slot, with Iowa (preferred), but all of these ships have sailed at this point.

it's the only ship that hasn't sailed in the 7 seasons the Huskers have been in the B1G

I would like to see Iowa keep the Iowa State game every year.  Instead I would like to see Iowa give up 1 home game once every 6 years, and then play a decent P5 OOC team once every 3 years.
2021 would be the idea year for Iowa to schedule the extra P5 OOC.
