Black Friday & Future Schedules

Scott Dochterman from the Athletic wrote a good article discussing the scheduling tweaks and stuff they had to do to make this year work (we hope).

The Big Ten’s original 2020 schedule was announced nearly three years ago and outside of a few late-season West Division tweaks, it was met mostly with a shrug.

On July 9, that schedule was shredded like several before it in the past decade. Realignment made the others outdated, and the league had a full calendar year to pump out new versions. With COVID-19 eliminating the nonconference slate, this 2020 remake took less than four weeks.

With a 10-game, Big Ten-only schedule, league officials were able to build in more flexibility than any other version. Likewise, historical rivalries and divisional games were considered sacred but the time-honored weekends were not — at least for this year. The need for alternate dates trumped league tradition.

My question is, if the Big Ten is adjusting future schedules... can they go ahead and fix the Black Friday series with Nebraska/Iowa? It makes no sense to do Nebraska/ Minnesota & Iowa/Wisconsin on Black Friday for just 1 season.
