After a lot of pissing and moaning about it, The B1G will go to a 9 game conference schedule in 2017.

A) I don't understand how this will be "fair", half the teams will have more away than home conference games.
B) Think this paves the way to add 2 more teams before then?


I really don't understand how teams approved this, because it means losing one home game every two years basically, and the revenue it brings.

It will be the first full nine-game conference schedule for the Big Ten since the 1983 and 1984 seasons. Eight of 10 conference schools played nine-game schedules during the 1981 and 1982 seasons, while two of 10 teams featured nine-game schedules from 1971-72 and 1977-80.

And Nebraska will be among those schools to host five conference games that season. Others schools with five home games in 2017 are Iowa, Michigan State, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio State. That reverses in 2018.
