ROSEMONT, Ill. – Ahead of an expansion to 18 schools for the 2024-25 school year, the Big Ten Conference revealed volleyball opponent rotations for the 2024 campaign on Thursday (Feb. 15) afternoon.
UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington will join the Big Ten officially on August 2nd, 2024, just a month out from the beginning of the college volleyball season. Of the 18 members for next year, 12 will have played in a Final Four during their history with six of them winning at least one national title.
The Big Ten will continue the traditional 20-game conference model while playing 14 opponents once (seven home, seven away) and three teams twice (both home and away).
All 42 matchups that didn't occur at a certain site in 2023 will happen in 2024. Geography and competitive balance for two-plays were considered to the extent possible. IU will meet Purdue, Illinois and Ohio State twice in 2024.
The Hoosiers will have home contests with Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Penn State, UCLA, USC and Wisconsin along with the three double-play opponents.
Trips to Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, Rutgers and Washington will also be on the docket.
IU will face Oregon for the first time in program history this season while meeting UCLA and Washington for a rematch of last year's contests in Long Beach. The Hoosiers will play USC for the first time since the 2010 Sweet 16.
A full schedule, featuring dates and non-conference opponents, will be announced in the summer.
