I wish they'd do Friday and Saturday night games instead, but it's my understanding they don't because the NFL doesn't want to interfere with the College games. |

I would bet the main reason is in the TV deals with the networks that don't want NFL product that they pay for going up against college product that they pay for. |

Correct. Nice caveat to this new deal is more revenue and cap bump in 2015. |

Think I heard somewhere that it had something to do with anti-trust? |

Sure hope they figure out how to improve Thursday night games. Most are lowly teams struggling for that first round draft pick. |

Actually, I think that every team has to play in at least one now. |
