'We've got to stay off Friday nights': Texas coaches react to Big 12's Friday night football plans​

The Big 12 is exploring playing Friday night football games, something that many in and around the Texas high school football community have concerns about.​

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark confirmed last week at Big 12 Media Days that the conference plans to explore playing Thursday and Friday night games under its new television deal. And that came as a bit of a surprise in the Texas coaching community.

Texas High School Coaches Association executive director Joe Martin said Sunday it was “shocking” to read that the Big 12 was considering Friday evening football, a time usually reserved for high school football.

Martin said he’s yet to speak with Yormark, who is now in Year 2 on the job, but hopes to in the future about the THSCA’s concerns about college football further infringing on a space that had long been reserved for high school football in the Lone Star State.

“Texas is different,” Martin said. “I don’t know if you guys have ever traveled outside the state or had anything to do with any other program outside the state — we’re different. … Our communities still go and support our teams. The more and more any football is out there on Friday nights — college, NFL — we’re opposed to that. Our association will be very vocal about the way we look upon it.”

Just sayin': Yeah, Friday nights should be for high school football.

How much do you think these guys regret rushing out and grabbing the Forgotten Four after the four PAC schools became available?

Yeah, the Utah, Colorado, Arizona State, and Arizona were definitely better pick ups than Houston, BYU, CFU, and the Juggalos. I guess you can't criticize them for going to 16 schools; but basically if they played their cards right (i.e. lieu of the Forgotten Four) they could have ended up with Stanford, Cal, Oregon State and Washington State too.

In the NIL and Transfer Portial era of college football there are going to be the "haves" and the "have nots". None of those 4 schools are the flagship school in their respective state nor they will be able to accumulate enough NIL money to be able to consistently recruit (and retain) enough quality athletics necessary to be a legitimate contender for a Conference Championship let alone a National Championship. A good season for them will be a winning record and a 2nd tier bowl game. However, on the plus side being in what is currently a Power Conference they should get enough TV money to help fund all the other sports teams at their respective schools.
