In 2024, television executives have a tight hold on college football, influencing conference realignment and scheduling decisions. Despite this, Ohio State football has received some positive news. The Buckeyes will not be playing any Friday night games, which may not seem significant to fans but is crucial for the coaching staff. Recruiting is easier when games are on Saturdays, as high school games are typically played on Friday nights.
Today, Fox announced its Big Ten Friday night schedule, and Ohio State is one of the few teams excluded from this lineup. Other teams missing out are Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Penn State, and Wisconsin. This decision is a relief for the Ohio State coaching staff and will likely benefit the team in the long run.
