SB Nation partner blog Crimson Quarry reports that Indiana’s outrage at Nebraska football head coach Scott Frost is based on Frost’s concerns about interdivision football schedules. Currently, Nebraska is halfway through a four game cross-division series with Ohio State. In 2022, Ohio State rotates off the schedule to be replaced by Michigan.
That will mean that the Huskers will have played Ohio State eight times in eleven seasons.
In that same time, Nebraska will have played Indiana exactly twice.
Details aren’t uber-specific about the context of the remarks, but multiple sources around the conference confirmed to Crimson Quarry that Frost had raised complaints in discussions privately and publicly that Nebraska had been saddled with a difficult of a cross-divisional Big Ten schedule in future seasons.
