The four new Big Ten teams will not be eligible to play in the league’s bowl games this year or next.
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark confirmed on Tuesday that the 10 schools leaving the Pac-12 will still play in the Pac-12 affiliated bowls over the next two seasons. That would mean USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington will not be selected to play in any Big Ten bowl games this year or next.
This would in theory open up more opportunities for other Big Ten teams to land in the league’s bowl games. This could be very impactful for the Spartans, who are projected to be a fringe bowl-eligible team this year.
