The Big Ten Conference announced for the 2015 and 2016 seasons on Monday morning.

In 2015 and 2016, Nebraska will continue to play the other five Legends Division schools - Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota and Northwestern, along with its permanent cross-division opponent, Penn State.

The 2015 and 2016 seasons will mark the first time Nebraska plays Indiana as a member of the Big Ten. The 2015 game will be the first time the two schools have played since 1978.

Nebraska will open conference play in 2015 at Minnesota on Oct. 3, followed by an off week. The Huskers will play host to Northwestern, Michigan State, Indiana and Iowa at Memorial Stadium, while traveling to Wisconsin, Michigan and Penn State.

The Huskers will also open conference play on the road in 2016, traveling to Northwestern on Oct. 1, before hosting Wisconsin on Oct. 8. Following a bye week, Nebraska will play six straight weeks. The Big Ten Championship Games are set for Dec. 5, 2016, and Dec. 3, 2016.

In addition to the 2015 and 2016 Big Ten schedules announced Monday, Nebraska has already completed its non-conference schedule for 2015. Nebraska will host BYU, South Alabama and Southern Miss at Memorial Stadium, while traveling to Miami.
