Big Ten Releases 2015 Football Conference Schedule

Earlier today the Big Ten unveiled its league football schedule for the 2015 season.  2015 will mark the second season that the Big Ten will play as fourteen-team league and it will also be the last year it will play an eight-game conference schedule.  In the eight-game format for the league's future East-West divisional framework, each team will play the other members of its division and two teams from the opposite division.  Unlike the current Leaders-Legends arrangement, there will be no protected interdivisional games except for Indiana-Purdue (Old Oaken Bucket).  For the 2016 season, the Big Ten will move to a nine-game league schedule.
