I really hope we add some decent OOC games that year. Not the kind of schedule that gets you in the playoff conversation, even if we were to win a conference championship.

I see Rutgers regularly coming up on the schedule. Yippy Skippy.
Maybe I'll be dead by then.

So what you are saying is that Brian will get his first contract extension and lifetime contract following the '24 season?

Rutgers really doesn't belong in the Big Ten. How can you take them, and overlook big market schools like Pitt or Mizzou? I don't get it. Yeah, I remember "New York TVs" blah blah blah. I'm not buying that Rutgers is helping get TVs in the east. Maryland? Yes. But not Rutgers

- Illinois & Penn State
- Indiana & Purdue
- Iowa & Rutgers
- Maryland & Northwestern
- Michigan & Nebraska
- Michigan State & Minnesota
- Ohio State & Wisconsin

How selections happened per the Chicago Tribune.
"The ADs decided that for the next six-year schedule block (2022-27), the annual crossovers should be randomly assigned."
“The prevailing mood,” Big Ten Associate Commissioner Mike McComiskey said, “was that the group didn’t want us picking who was going to be good that far out; you don’t know.”
"When administrators met in Rosemont for spring meetings, two jars were placed on a table and school names were pulled from each until the six new annual crossover matchups were selected."

Ugh that is just a terrible way to pick a team that you are going to play 6 straight years.

As a hawk fan I hate the thought of drawing Rutgers, but in the same breath I love the fact that OSU has Wiscy and Nebby has Michigan those same years makes the West seem a bit more winnable.

Whatever on Rutgers being our every year...I am just happy to see that Wisconsin has OSU annually.

What is worse for me is the future non-conference slate of games. If you were alive before the series with ISU resumed there was more opportunities to play the likes of Notre Dame, Texas Christian, etc. As someone about to turn 71 the recently released non con schedule basically ends any hope of ever seeing quality opponents other than ISU on the schedule. And I am being kind when I list ISU as a quality opponent. They, after all, are listed as a power five team.
