What Indiana Football's Non-Conference Schedule Should Look Like

Written By Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

There have been plenty of articles over the past few weeks and days trying to address the Indiana Hoosiers football non-conference schedule and I am ready to put my two cents in. First, let’s get this out of the way quickly. The Hoosiers and the rest of the Big Ten are held back by the nine-game conference schedule. Teams like Indiana are hamstrung the most. IU plays in arguably the toughest division in college football, the Big Ten East. They have to play Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Penn State annually. In addition they have two rotating crossovers from the Big Ten West as their annual showdown with Purdue is the only locked in cross over in the conference. So that makes non-conference scheduling extremely important as well as highly inflexible. In a perfect world, the Big Ten would play eight conference games and IU could have more flexibility to schedule some tougher opponents in the non-conference. However, the Big Ten is stuck with the nine-game schedule for the foreseeable future.
