The Big Ten has officially unveiled their third edition of the 2020 conference schedule. After the season resumption announcement on Wednesday this week that the conference would begin the fall season Oct. 23, comments made by the Purdue Athletic Director indicated the latest iteration of a schedule would be based on the original nine game conference schedule for 2020.
The difference in scheduled games resulted in a cross-over division opponent being dropped for each team. Nebraska’s AD Bill Moos also made clear the schedule would be balanced for home-and-away games between divisions, whereas in typical even number years conference schedules have five home games for east teams, but only four for west teams.
