Big Ten releases 2015-16 schedules

Wisconsin back on Michigan list

5/21/2012

The Big Ten Conference released its 2015 and 2016 league football schedules Monday.

Ohio State will open both seasons against Purdue, close them with its traditional rivalry game against Michigan and avoid Iowa, Nebraska and Northwestern.

Michigan will open against Michigan State both years and miss Purdue, Indiana and Penn State. UM's stretch run in 2016 will pose an especially stiff test, with the Wolverines playing in succession at Wisconsin, Illinois, at Nebraska, Iowa and at Ohio State.

Here is a complete look at the schools' 2015 and 2016 conference schedules.
