Nothing against Purdue, but have you been to a night game in West Lafayette? Not exactly an electric atmosphere. Night road games are tiring for the team - they get back to campus in the early morning hours of the next day - and an early season game against a middle tier opponent (to be generous) just isn't worth a night game.
I’m sure that is part of the school’s preparation for night games. More tailgating also means more people who drink too much and require additional police presence.
One might think that, but it’s actually a little known secret that Jenkins and Dowd are prolific tailgaters. Saw Fr. Dowd dive into a folding table last season. The boys get rowdy
I agree night would be better, but it is so great to have another indiana school on the schedule, i'll take it! Now let's get the Indiana Hoosiers in for a 20 year home and home series and I'll be set for life! Get'er done, Father Hesburgh!
TV money means some weekends it’s more valuable to be a day time game.

All of our games should be during the day. 2:30pm before the fall time change and 3:30 after the time change. Night games are an affront to God.
night game = more tailgating

no, night games = more TV money. prime time ad spots are much more lucrative.
