The Pac-12 teams joining the Big Ten next summer will play regular games against the likes of Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State.
The Big Ten on Thursday announced the football schedule model over a five year period that begins next season when USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington join the conference.
“When you see the quality of the matchups, there are so many great games,” Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti said. “It has been a whirlwind eight weeks,” said Kerry Kenny, the Big Ten’s chief operating officer. “When Oregon and Washington were announced , we went right to work.” Using what it calls the “Flex Protect XVIII” model, the Big Ten crafted a nine-game conference schedule that includes protected and rotating opponents. Each team will play every other conference opponent at least twice within the five-year window. The rotating opponents appear on the schedule no more than three times.
The conference did not provide any specifics regarding Friday night games but said there will be no 9 a.m. kickoffs on Saturdays on the West Coast campuses. “The best way to create cohesion in the conference is to play each other more, not less,” Kenny said.
