I see the Neb @iowa game has been move to prime time starting at 6:30pm on NBC.
Also the Minn @Wisc game has been moved to Black Friday at noon on CBS.
I remember back in 2020 when they originally planned to switch it up so that Iowa and Wisc would play on Thanksgiving Saturday, a lot of people (well, I did). wondered if the Big Ten would set up a Black Friday double header involving Iowa, Wisc, Neb and Minn every year. But Wisc seemed to push back on the idea. In the end the pandemic screwed up the 2020 and 2021 schedules and the idea was scrapped. Iowa and Neb went back to playing Black Friday every year including 2020, although that was not the last game of the reg season that year.
But. Now I guess CBS and NBC are forcing the issue and are demanding Big Ten Black Friday double headers every year. Last year it was PSU-MSU who played black Friday night. So it might not be Minn-Wisc every year.
