The 2014 football schedule for the Big Ten conference is now available on The Howell Report. This summer the Big Ten will welcome Maryland and Rutgers as new members in all sports, thus increasing the number of teams in the conference from twelve to fourteen. This new development also means that the Big Ten will reorganize and rename its football divisions. After July 1st, "Leaders" and "Legends" will be replaced with two new divisions named "East and "West." The East Division will consist of Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, and Rutgers. The West Division will contain Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue, and Wisconsin. The only protected annual inter-divisional crossover game will be the Old Oaken Bucket Rivalry between Indiana and Purdue. Some notable non-conference games that will be on the Big Ten's schedule include Fiesta Bowl Champion Central Florida vs. Penn State, LSU vs. Wisconsin, Rose Bowl Champion Michigan State vs. Oregon, and Miami (FL) vs. Nebraska.
