With Purdue added for 2018 and 2020, the Eagles fulfilled their Power-5 scheduling requirement through 2025 with the exception of 2021.
Boston College announced on Tuesday that they agreed to a home-and-home scheduling agreement with the Big Ten's Purdue Boilermakers. The Eagles will play in Indiana in 2018 with the Boilermakers coming to Chestnut Hill in 2020.
The announcement had two-fold positives for the Eagles. On the one hand, they schedule games against a larger-named opponent they've had no prior experience with. Purdue, an eight time Big Ten champion and the alma mater of Bob Griese, Mark Herrmann, and Drew Brees, is a team the Eagles never played before, giving the schedule a new look with the excitement of a new brand.
