The Big Ten made a big splash Wednesday, and there's still another sizable one to come.
It likely will release a full football schedule within the next few days.
On Wednesday, it revealed general parameters, and Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos described it as a "sound plan."
Each of the 14 teams will attempt to play eight games in eight weeks, leaving no wiggle room before the Big Ten championship game Dec. 19. That weekend also will feature an extra cross-division game for each school, with same-seeded teams in each division squaring off.
The Big Ten is scheduled to complete its season before Dec.
