The Big Ten Network just announced all the dates for the women's and men's conference schedule for the upcoming season. The Oregon Ducks made the switch from the Pac-12 Conference to the Big Ten Conference so a lot of new opponents from the Midwest and the East Coast are apart of this season's schedule for the Ducks.

It's a 20-game conference schedule for each Big Ten school. All the schools will play three opponents twice. As for the single-play opponents, it will be seven games at home and seven on the road.

Each of the programs in the Central and East Coast time zones will make a trip to the West Coast only once. They will play back-to-back games in four days to minimize the time away from campus.
