R.I.P. to complaints about schedule strength.

Michigan playing at USC, at Ohio State and in Indianapolis in 2024, not to mention home games against Wisconsin, UCLA and Texas. Buckle up. https://t.co/I4az5eHKWK

Michigan's 2024 football schedule includes Texas, Ohio State, Michigan State, USC and UCLA, with a smattering of Wisconsins and Marylands. Hey Michigan fans, enjoy East Carolina and UNLV while you can!

Michigan's first true road game vs. USC since 1957.

Michigan vs. UCLA for the first time since 2000. https://t.co/9eLX4xsZ4K

Some of my favorite Big Ten rivalries that are not protected:

- MSU’s neon green atrocities vs. Everyone’s eyeballs

- Ohio State vs. Winning games at Ross-Ade Stadium

- Nebraska vs. Kevin Warren

- Everyone who believes in magic vs. Pat Fitzgerald

- Reggie Bush vs. the NCAA

Reminder: #USC is 75-30-3 all-time against current Big Ten Conference members.

Please riot for these historic rivalry trophies that the Big Ten is reportedly *not* interested in protecting as annual fixtures. pic.twitter.com/UfFmTS6XE6

The Big Ten discussed having 1-3 protected games per team but instead made it varied. So Iowa has three annual protected games, several teams have two and Penn State has zero. https://t.co/JmpRMB5R8L
