Illinois will play Northwestern & Purdue forever and ever

I hope you like Hats.

The Big Ten unveiled its new scheduling format Thursday afternoon, and it includes Illinois matchups with Northwestern and Purdue until the end of time (or until the Big Ten inevitably expands again).

The games against the Wildcats and Boilers are “protected” rivalries, meaning it flips every year between home and away, just like the current Big Ten West. The Illini are also lucky enough to get Ohio State in both 2024 and 2025.
