Big Ten releases changes for Badgers 2021 football schedule
The Big Ten made some changes to the 2021 football schedule and while nothing changed as far as who the Wisconsin Badgers will play, there were some switches to dates and locations.
The most notable move is the rivalry game against Minnesota will now be played in the final weekend of the regular season. It had originally been scheduled for Oct. 9.
