Big Ten to announce 2024-25 schedule model, opponents with special edition of ‘B1G Live’

The Big Ten is set to announce its 2024-25 scheduling model and opponents Thursday afternoon, the Big Ten Network said Wednesday. It will all be unveiled during a special edition of B1G Live Thursday at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Commissioner Tony Petitti, new chief operating officer Kerry Kenny and Ohio State athletics director Gene Smith will join B1G Live hosts Mike Hall and Howard Griffith for the announcement.

The 2024 season will be a big one for the Big Ten as two high-profile programs join the fray. USC and UCLA are in their last season in the Pac-12 and will officially join the Big Ten starting with the 2024 season. That will take the conference to 16 teams, which is why there are questions about what the schedule will look like with those additions.

The Big Ten currently has an East-West divisional model with two, seven-team divisions. The league hasn’t tipped its hand on what schedule model it will use once USC and UCLA join, but those questions will likely be answered Thursday afternoon.
