Announced schedules as of July 30 , 2019 . In 2015 , the Big Ten announced that starting in 2016 it would no longer allow its members to play Football Championship Subdivision teams , and would also require at least one non-conference game against a school in the Power Five conferences ( ACC , Big 12 , Pac-12 , SEC ) . Games against FBS independents Notre Dame , BYU , and Army , as well as games against the AAC 's Cincinnati , Navy , and UConn , and games against the MWC 's Air Force and Fresno State would also count towards the Power Five requirement . In the summer of 2017 , the Big Ten partially reversed course by allowing its members to schedule FCS teams in years where they have four conference home games out of their nine-game conference schedule
