It sounds like with the 9 game Big 10 schedule, there will be alternating years where a school will only have four home conference games. In those "off years", they've been given a green light to potentially schedule an FCS opponent.
YIPPEE!

Delany says Big Ten teams are allowed to play FCS teams in years where they play only 4 league home games.

League didn't anticipate how tough it would be for schools with four B1G home games to add three FBS home games in those years.
I love this.
Of the 4 Big Ten teams within a 6 hour drive, would you rather see the Dukes match up with Big Ten teams that we could potentially "upset" (Maryland, Rutgers) or those with a much higher profile (Ohio State, Penn State) which would likely be a lopsided loss?

Of course, what we are really talking about here is...well, I'll let Bill the Blaze walk you through it...
My dream is to have our Madison football team play in Madison. Went to a Badger game last year and the rumors of it being one of, if not the, best college towns is true. Need a good reason to get back there sooner than later.
