How the new Big Ten football scheduling model affects Wisconsin football

New conference commissioner Tony Petitti announced the league’s new schedule system and unveiled home and away opponents for the 2024 and 2025 seasons on a Big Ten Network broadcast Thursday afternoon. The new model nixes the division setup the conference has had since 2011, and the top two teams from the new 16-team league will face off for the Big Ten title game at the conclusion of the regular season. The changes were brought about after last summer’s announcement that UCLA and Southern Cal would be joining the Big Ten starting next season.
