It's not a numbers thing, it is an "optics" thing. The NFL is fed by colleges, which are fed by High Schools. Traditionally, Friday night is for the High School games, Saturdays are for Colleges, and Sundays are for the Pros. Showing games on Friday nights just would not go over well in many parts of the country, as it would be seen as taking away from High School students and their "game of the weeks"....
I lived in the DFW area quite awhile. I don't think it's much of a stretch to say that if Texas were given a choice between having huge hs football stadiums or simply stop educating children the kids will lose out 100 out of 100 times . My sister's grandkids were 'educated' there. . Now all in their 20s they all still live with grandma ..and their mother has been in prison the majority of their lives .
