So Thursday night football then?

Actually that would make it ideal for a late season Saturday evening game in the States with a noon start in Australia.

I plan to make one of these international games, but I’m holding out for Antarctica.

Doesn't that cross the line that the different football codes stay out of each others' lanes?

High school Friday
College Saturday
NFL Sunday (and Thursday) while the college season is still running.

The Thursday night thing would mean a bye before the game, then play on Friday Aus time and have an extra two days to get back and prepare for the following week? But I'm just theorising.
