Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork has suggested modifications to the Big Ten Conference's scheduling format, according to a report from Huskies Wire. The proposal was highlighted in a story authored by Carter Stedman on Saturday.
Details of the specific scheduling changes Bjork recommended were not immediately disclosed in the initial report. The Big Ten, which expanded to 18 members in 2024, has been evaluating its scheduling models for football and other sports to accommodate the larger membership while maintaining competitive balance and traditional rivalries.
Bjork, who became Ohio State's athletic director in 2024, previously held the same role at Mississippi and Texas A&M. His input carries weight given Ohio State's status as one of the conference's most prominent athletic programs.
Conference officials have not yet commented publicly on Bjork's suggestions. Any formal changes to Big Ten scheduling would require approval from the conference's athletic directors and presidents.
