The next season will mark the end of an era for the Big Ten. The conference’s divisions will likely shift in 2024 when UCLA and USC join. The Bruins and Trojans announced their departure from the PAC 12 earlier this year.
Next year also marks the beginning of a new broadcasting deal for the conference that will allow fans to watch the Badgers on WISC-TV. Beginning next fall, Big Ten games will be shown on FOX at 11 a.m. central time, CBS at 2:30 p.m. central time, and NBC in primetime. The new agreement will run through the 2029-2030 season.
