Wildcat Football Schedules
On April 6 Northwestern released the 2013 and 2014 schedules
shown below, which are now configured with the new Big Ten divisions.
Games printed in italics do not yet have a confirmed date and,
therefore, are not listed in the correct order.
The most recent update to
this information was made on Dec. 28, 2011:
The Big Ten and Pac-12 announced
that the conferences will strengthen ties to each other and that,
beginning in 2017, each team will play an interleague game every
year.
This new arrangement throws into doubt the B1G's plan, announced in
August 2011, of going to a nine-game conference schedule starting in
2017.
Other recent updates:
December 13, 2011:
Illinois State announced that the school and NU have agreed to play a game at Ryan Field in September 2016.
October 23, 2011:
The
Northwestern Alumni Association has confirmed that Minnesota will be
NU's 2013 homecoming opponent, and Wisconsin will be the opponent for
the 2014 homecoming.
August 31, 2011:
Rice A.D. Confirms Future Games with NU;
Big Ten to Switch Back to Nine-Game Conference Schedule
Rice
athletic Director Rick Mello, in an interview with the Houston
Chronicle, confirmed that NU and Rice have agreed to play in 2017 and
2018. No dates or locations were announced.
Also in 2017 the Big Ten will return to a nine-game conference
schedule, up from the current eight games. NU will have four home
Big Ten games in '17 and five home conference games in '18.
