Ohio State playing Northwestern on a Friday night has sparked quite a bit of conversation—most of which has been negative. Buckeye fans are set and stone on their tradition (lookin’ at you, anti-black-uniform folks) and anything that threatens that is a no-no. Those of us who cover the team are annoyed because deadlines are moved up. However, the group that arguably has the best reason to be upset are the coaches, players, parents, etc. of high school football.
