Big Ten releases 2013, 2014 football schedules

The Big Ten announced its 2013 and 2014 football schedules, and as reported by this blog last week, Wisconsin and Ohio State jump back on to Iowa's schedule.

Iowa will play divisional foes Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern and Nebraska, permanent crossover opponent Purdue and then Wisconsin and Ohio State. Iowa receives a bye before playing the Buckeyes in both years.

The announcement completes Iowa's schedules through 2014. In non-conference play, Iowa plays Northern Illinois, Missouri state and Western Michigan at home and Iowa State on the road in 2013. In 2014, Iowa plays host to Ball State, Northern Iowa, Iowa State and travels to Pittsburgh in non-conference action.

As reported last week, Iowa will miss Illinois for six consecutive years.
