2024 will be a monumental season as the oldest conference will expand to 16 universities. We will welcome USC and UCLA and begin coast to coast competition. We can add schedules and other information here as it becomes available.

As noted on another thread, the '24 schedule and model will be announced today 6/8 @ 4:30 on BTN.

No impact on BIG football, but our friends in South Bend do compete with us in hockey. Anyways, significant news and change for Notre Dame in 2024.

Ohio State/Penn State game will be played in '24 but not '25. They have played the last 30 years and I personally will miss this game.

I enjoyed this article about winners in New divisionless conferences.

"Thanks to a "single-standings" model, every team will play one another at least twice in a four-year period with only a handful of rivalry games locked in on a yearly basis. That means, for example, Penn State no longer has to play Michigan and Ohio State every single year for a trip to Indianapolis and the Big Ten Championship Game. Rather, the Nittany Lions will compete with all 15 other Big Ten schools for the top two spots in the conference."
