The recommendation provides for a standard 13-week schedule, which opens on the final Thursday in August each year. Currently, FCS programs' schedules fluctuate on the calendar.

In its final year as a 14-member conference, the Big Ten saw its revenue soar to $928 million, with projections to exceed $1 billion during the current 2025 fiscal year, according to the league's 2024 tax statement. The league disbursed between $63.26 million and $63.43 million to 12 of its members and $61.52 million to Rutgers and Maryland, which borrowed money from the Big Ten while they were considered non-vested members from 2014 to 2020. Both should obtain full shares in 2027.

AMES, Iowa - In a frame next to the door of Bill Fennelly's office hangs a crusty old box score from his first game as Iowa State women's basketball coach. The date was Nov. 24, 1995. Iowa State beating Idaho State is irrelevant, but what stands out for Fennelly is the attendance: 310. His program had 31 season-ticket holders. The football program wasn't much better; only twice that fall did the Cyclones draw more than 38,000 fans, with barely 27,000 showing up for the home finale.

IOWA CITY, Iowa - A day that started with Caitlin Clark's triumphant return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena ended with the WNBA basking in the spotlight. No Iowa athlete in the last 80 years can match Clark's impact, and that was on full display from the parking lot tailgates four hours before tipoff to the 117-decibel explosion when she connected on her first 3-pointer Sunday afternoon.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Caitlin Clark’s return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena featured the same sound as a jet engine at takeoff. Then it got even louder. The Iowa icon brought the Indiana Fever to her alma mater for a game against the Brazilian National Team, and the pregame introduction nearly blew her retired No. 22 jersey off the rafters at 116 decibels.
