Highlights: USC comes up clutch vs. Nebraska

The Big Ten Conference has announced new scheduling formats for the 2024 and 2025 football seasons following the expansion of the league. With the addition of USC and UCLA, the conference will eliminate its divisional format and implement a "Flex Protect Plus" model. This approach ensures that each team will have three protected opponents to maintain traditional rivalries, while the remaining games will rotate among the other conference members. This change aims to provide a balanced schedule, enhance competition, and preserve key matchups that are significant to fans and schools alike.
