EDIT: Pairings out. Dates/Times/Channels will be out in Aug/Sept roughly.

 

The Hoosiers will have single-play trips to Michigan, Michigan State, Rutgers and Penn State, and they'll have to face Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin both home and away.

 

IU's single-play home opponents include Maryland, Ohio State, Northwestern and Purdue.

 IU spokesman clarifies that Big Ten will release next year's schedule Thursday. Indiana will get Purdue at home next year, no trip to Mackey

 

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,169]

What? No x2 from now on? that's some B1G BS!

[FKfootball 1,046]

I hope we get Northwestern and Penn St twice.

I assume there won't be times/dates, it will only be a list of what schools will make up the schedule, right?

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,807]

and Rutgers

[coonhounds 8,692]

I hope we get Northwestern and Penn St twice.

this brings up a question I was wondering. Wont adding all these teams possibly give a team a unfair advantage to win the conference by having a easy schedule

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Yep. I think all that stuff starts to come out in Aug/Sept.

[coonhounds 8,692]

Yep. I think all that stuff starts to come out in Aug/Sept.

I am guessing tv coverage dictates all of that.

[swatford 1,235]

I hope we get Northwestern and Penn St twice.

I'd rather have rutgers than Penn State. Pat chambers' teams always scare me.

[HoosierAloha 29,897]

Call me crazy but I would like to have Rutgers, PSU, NW, Neb, Minny, Iowa, MD, and Wisky once.  Bring on the home/home with OSU, MSU, UM, pu, and ill twice a year.  If you're going to win the conference do it the right way.  Wisky is the best team in the B1G but they also have a soft conference schedule this year.

Check out Wisconsin's schedule this year. Probably the easiest in the B1G. They're still the best team, but they're schedule is oddly easy.

Under the Big Ten's current three-year scheduling cycle, the Hoosiers and Purdue could meet twice during the 2016-17 season.

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

Wow. That schedule is going to be ranked as one of the top 5 hardest in the Big Ten again isn't it?

[IU Bud 445]

Check out Wisconsin's schedule this year. Probably the easiest in the B1G. They're still the best team, but they're schedule is oddly easy.

I agree about their schedule. I was hoping they would lose a lot of players and struggle next year.  Bo Ryan has built a balanced roster. They lose Jackson, Gasser, and Kaminsky. They will have Hayes, Dekker, and Koenig back. You can be sure someone else will step off the bench and contribute. They should come back to the crowd of teams in the B1G next year.

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,807]

Dekker may bolt though.  1st rounder in most mocks, but "trust in Bo" as I am sure they have big talent hiding on the bench.

Looks like I'll be catching another game at Rutgers!!!!

[Beachfront Property 619]

I thought the schedule looked pretty easy, especially with Kaminsky, Jackson and possibly Dekker leaving.

[Hovadipo 52,963]

Wisconsin isn't going anywhere. They won't be top 5 next year, but you can bet they'll be top 3 in the B1G.

[Bryan Medema 1,488]

So looking at what we've got next year (please fill in any gaps you happen to know)

 

Non-Conference:

   Confirmed-

     -Gavitt Tip-Off (IU vs Big East opponent. TBD Spring)

     -Maui Invitational (Participants: Chaminade, Kansas, St. Johns, UCLA, UNLV, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest- Bracket TBD)

     -B1G/ACC Challenge (Likely Away game, opponent TBD)

     -Cross-Roads Classic (Notre Dame, Bankers Life)

 

    Rumored-

     -Louisville (Start of 3-game series)

 

Conference:

      -H/A: Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin

      -H: Maryland, Ohio State, Northwestern, Purdue

      -A: Michigan, Michigan State, Rutgers, Penn State

 

 

Assuming we have the roster I believe we'll have next year (JBJ, Zeisloft, Hoetzel, Rojo, Troy, Yogi, Hanner, Devin, Holt, Hartman, Hartman, Morgan, Anunoby....Some combination of Stan and either Priller/April will leave) I believe this schedule sets up nicely.

 

We have the opportunity to win some high visibility, high caliber non-conference games (minimum 4 away or neutral-site games against a Big 6 conference opponents, likely more).

 

As far as the B1G is concerned, this schedule is difficult but allows for what should be one of the more balanced and talented Hoosier teams in recent memory to flourish. The road games don't look overly daunting (sans MSU, Illinois, and Wisconsin...I think Michigan, Nebraska, and Minnesota will be down especially) and some of our tougher outs are at home (OSU, MD, PU).

 

Is it too early to get excited for next year? (Answer: Yes, yes it is)

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,169]

I'll be at the MAUI invitational!!!! I have been excited since it was announced. Some other folks better be there so we can throw down some Mai Tais
