Delany convinced Big Ten presidents to move to a nine-game league schedule (in 2016), and has said the Big Ten will eventually stop playing games against FCS teams. Better games, better experiences.
And why not start three years early: no conference plays more games against BCS teams this season, and no one plays less games against FCS schools. A breakdown of the Big Ten non-conference schedules:
From first to worst
1. Purdue: at Cincinnati, Indiana State, Notre Dame, Northern Illinois
2. Michigan State: Western Michigan, USF, Youngstown State, at Notre Dame
3. Michigan: Central Michigan, Notre Dame, Akron, at UConn
4. Nebraska: Wyoming, Southern Miss, UCLA, San Jose State
5. Wisconsin: UMass, Tennessee Tech, at Arizona State, BYU
6. Illinois: Southern Illinois, Cincinnati, Washington, Miami (OH)
7. Northwestern: at California, Syracuse, Western Michigan, Maine
8. Penn State: Syracuse (Meadowlands), Eastern Michigan, UCF, Kent State
9. Iowa: Northern Illinois, Missouri State, at Iowa State, Western Michigan
