STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -Penn State president Graham Spanier likes the revised Big Ten football schedules that include a regular high-profile game with Nebraska.
The conference announced Wednesday new divisional alignments and schedules for football made necessary by the addition of the Cornhuskers as the 12th member starting next season.
Penn State and Nebraska will be in separate divisions, though they will have a guaranteed crossover game. Spanier said a lot of fans were pulling for that scenario.
The teams last played in 2003, when Nebraska won in Lincoln. Penn State leads the series 7-6. The schools have also been competitive in wrestling and women’s volleyball.
Spanier was chancellor at Nebraska before becoming Penn State president in 1995.
