Big Ten releases eight-game fall football schedule

The Big Ten has unveiled the latest iteration of their fall football schedule — fingers crossed that the third time is the charm — with an eight-game slate that culminates in the Big Ten Championship on Saturday, Dec. 19. The 12 teams not participating in the title game will all get an additional division crossover game to be played on that same Saturday, pitting the No. 2 team in the West vs the No. 2 team in the East and so on and so forth (unless any two teams matched up based on the standings already played once during the regular season).
