2023 AAC Mid-Week Games?

[Pavlovs Eagle]

Are we subject next year to some of the same Thursday/Friday scheduling of AAC games that we've seen this season and before?  I assume it's a function of the ESPN contract and won't be changing?

There have been some great AAC matchups in the recent years that have been scheduled on a Thursday to the attendance of 5k fans.  We have always struggled with attendance at the occasional Thursday night game.  Would be great if we were limited to at most one home non-Saturday game every other season.

The lament of every AD, the non-traditional home game date.  We will have some in the AAC, as all conferences play games on Thursday nights.  The only "great" Thursday date, IMO, is a road Thursday night game on the week following a bye.

Many do not want Thanksgiving Saturday (a traditional bad draw for us also), others do not want the first Saturday of deer season or other similar dates.  Hopefully the bad date pain gets spread around year-to-year.
