Still strange … can’t imagine Illini/EIU is some ratings grabber for that Thursday slot.
It's probably better than whatever rerun they have on ahead of the star of the new TV season, and our game won't go head to head against more teams with a bigger national draw. At least that's my best guess.

TV might have the ability to change game times within a day, but there has to be severe limitations to forcibly moving games from one day to the next. Health/safety, university/federal holidays, academic calendar reasons make me think a school(s) has to okay a date change.

The networks pay billions and can do what they want.

I missed this earlier - he was a heck of a kicker. I remember vividly the game-winning kick he had against UW in 1982. RIP
he was a good friend of the Krueger twins, Kurt & Kerry, who didnt play a whole lot, but were fun to party with.
They were next door neighbors of mine in 1981-1982.
I would often join all those dudes for beers and whatnot. Mike was a good guy
