Is Thursday night college football dead?

[Orangemen]

With the NFL on Thursday nights, college football ratings have to take a hit on that night. Will Friday night become the weekday showcase that Thursday used to be?

Does that mean the BE was ahead of the curve?

Rutgirls pulled a 0.4 TV rating last week. Almost unheard of to be that low.

BTW, the ACC knew what they were doing going to 3 Friday Night games a season.

it's because they put terrible teams on tv on thursday and friday

Last night's future Big East-ish game didn't do Thursday CFB any favors. 13 combined points, 270 combined yards. Fun.

The NFL is >>>>>>> college in ratings.

I will gladly take a Friday night game when very little, prime time programming included, is on.

BYU/Boise St. pulled in a .7 rating, almost double Rutgers/USF. Hmmmm...

for a relevant program, i think thurs/fri night games are great. You are the only show in town. Fans, press, HS kids will watch.

Would be cool to own fri night on a regular basis until we get a to point where we are featured game in the 3:30 PM or 8 PM slots.

It certainly doesn't help matters that the NFL Network has reached an agreement with Time Warner customers as now millions more have access to those games.

Wait a minute...I thought Thursday night's game was a Big East game?

Don't we have 3 Friday night games this year?
