Yesterday, the Iowa Hawkeyes released their planned opponents for the 2019-20 Big Ten Conference Schedule with a cool graphic involving Jordan Bohannon tying his shoe.
It makes sense because the teams Iowa played once last year are now teams they’ll play twice and vice versa with Nebraska as the exception. Is this a new scheduling quirk for the Big Ten as protected rivalries make their way into the conference landscape? It certainly makes sense to play each team thrice over two seasons with a common home-and-home opponent in back-to-back seasons. It will be interesting to see if Iowa is matched up with Wisconsin or Minnesota in such a scenario.
