The Big Ten is changing and new teams are being thrown into the mix. This means new opponents for Rutgers and the first step to a schedule over the next two years has been shared.
On Thursday, the Big Ten revealed conference opponents for the 2024-25 seasons. The biggest change, aside from the addition of USC and UCLA, is that the conference will do away with divisions. The Big Ten Championship Game will feature the top two teams rather than relying on winners of the East and West divisions.
There are also “protected games,” which will be played annually.
