With at least two new teams set to join the Big Ten in 2024, changes are coming to the way the conference schedules games.
One of those changes has already been agreed upon, according to Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith. While the conference has historically set its conference game schedules years in advance, Smith says that will no longer be the case, as Big Ten officials have decided that conference schedules for the following year will now be set “sometime in October.”
Smith said that was a change the Big Ten decided it needed to make so that it would have more flexibility in setting schedules moving forward.
