The annual Land Grant Trophy game between Penn State and Michigan State will be played on Black Friday this November, ESPN’s Pete Thamel first reported about the schedule earlier this month.
In a large story written by Thamel titled “How an unfinished TV deal led to an unexpectedly hectic first month for the new Big Ten commissioner,” Thamel reported that the two schools will play Friday, Nov. 24, instead of Saturday, Nov. 25, “to make short-term sacrifices to help the league make up for some lost revenue from the NBC deal.”
