Friday Night College Football - in Texas

In the first 13 weeks - before Thanksgiving week - of the NCAA Division I football season in 2024, there are 45 Friday night football games scheduled across America.

But Houston at Texas Christian on Friday night, October 4 (and BYU at SMU in week two) are sending THSCA executive director Joe Martin into a tizzy at today's opening day of Coaching School from the Texas High School Coaches Association in San Antonio.

Dave Campbell's Texas Football mangaing editor Greg Tepper quoted Martin as saying, “We want to protect Friday night lights," via his Twitter feed earlier today.

Indicating too that Martin was doing active lobbying to get the October game changed.

Mine's a controversial take in a football rabid state, but it is 2024.

Times have changed.

I think you just have to work at promoting your school's teams and events a little harder now.

Rather bemoan the money and the stakes at play at the collegiate level, and what's still driving it?  Games on TV, et. al. largely ESPN.

The majority of those folks are already not going to high school games. 

They're at home on their butts watching the games - and to the paying advertisers, hopefully the commercials too.

Will you lose up to 10% - of let's say a crowd at Austin Westlake - if Texas played on a Friday night?

Maybe.  

Put that in your budget and fundraising plans.

But to stick your head in the sand and demand something you absolutely have no control over, it's foolish, in my mind.

Again, however, you have a leadership of that group that - at the end of the day - would still like to see a way to force public schools not to play private schools.  Just because.

Why, just because?

Because the ideas of private and parochial schools recruiting, etc. en masse have always been mostly not true, and there's so much more going on on the public school side anyway.

More time should be spent lobbying against a free one-time transfer that's being discussed:  that will be such a bigger disrupter than any of the stuff I mentioned before.

And for an organization that continues to try and model itself as for being for all coaches, and not just football, why not also advocate against the six games in Texas before Thanksgiving that are being played on Tuesday through Thursday night?

Work on better aligning your message and mission instead of feeding red meat to the base.
