Wildcat Football Schedules
On April 6 Northwestern released the 2013 and 2014 schedules
shown below, which are now configured with the new Big Ten divisions.
Games printed in italics do not yet have a confirmed date and,
therefore, are not listed in the correct order.
The most recent update to
this information was made on May 15:
Ball
State's athletic department officially announced that the Cardinals
will play a game at Ryan Field in 2015. NU has not commented on
this game. The game will be the first-ever meeting between NU and
Ball State.
Other recent updates:
March 20, 2012:
NU announced several days ago that the 'Cats and Stanford will resume
their series earlier than expected. NU and Stanford had already
established a set of games from 2019 through 2022. The new
agreement adds a home-and-home for 2015 and 2016.
NU will host Standford on September 5, 2015, taking the home slot
originally announced for a game vs. Army. It is not known what
happened to the Army game.
Also, the NAA's previous post that the 2013 homecoming game will be
October 19 vs. Minnesota has been removed from the NAA site (the site
now lists "TBA" for 2013). There are reports that homecoming for
2013 has been moved to October 5 vs. Ohio State.
Dec. 28, 2011:
The Big Ten and Pac-12 announced
that the conferences will strengthen ties to each other and that,
beginning in 2017, each team will play an interleague game every
year.
This new arrangement throws into doubt the B1G's plan, announced in
August 2011, of going to a nine-game conference schedule starting in
2017.
December 13, 2011:
Illinois State announced that the school and NU have agreed to play a game at Ryan Field in September 2016.
