The matchups are set! The Big Ten has released the conference pairings for the 2024-28 football seasons, and Penn State’s slate is stacked! The Flex Protect Plus™ model departs, and in comes the Flex Protect 18™!
Every Big Ten team will play every other conference opponent at least twice every five seasons, once at home, and once away. Outside of the protected matchups, no team will play another team more than three times during the five-year cycle. Unlike some previous rumors, the conference stayed at nine conference games. Also, the gap between games for a given pairing will not exceed three seasons.
