One theory I am hearing is once the 2026-2027 schedules are announced that PSU will play MSU, OSU, MD, Rut, USC and UCLA 3 out of 4 years.   

So that's 4 quasi-rivals for PSU with MSU, OSU, MD and Rut where they play almost every year.  Then throw in USC and UCLA almost every year to make up for not getting OSU every year.

The 2025 Ohio State at Wisconsin game needs to be scheduled for November 8, that is the Saturday closest to November 10 which will be the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Most of the crewmen were from Ohio and Wisconsin. 

I'd even consider playing on Monday evening to be on the exact date.

I hear that the Big Ten schools already know their 2026-2027 Big Ten opponents so I am not sure why they did not announce that today too.

Different AD's are dropping hints that they know their 2026-2027 double-play opponents, so why not just announce it?

This is a really silly criticism since it alternates years.
In 2016, when the 9-game schedule was started, the East had 5 home games.

Legends and Leaders were designed to have OSU and Michigan in Indy.

It's called preferential treatment.

And when all is said and done it will have been in place for eight years with the B1G-E teams and the B1G-W teams each getting four years of five home games.

It waa pointed out upthread that for all 14 existing B1G teams the 24/25 schedules simply continue the existing pattern of B1G-E teams getting five home games in even years and B1G-W teams getting five home games in odd years.
Legends and Leaders were designed to have OSU and Michigan in Indy.
That was obviously Delaney's hope, for purposes of revenue maximumization which benefits all of us. Your statement of it as "designed to have" implies that tOSU and Michigan had built-in scheduling advantages. They didn't.
It's called preferential treatment.
Your argument for this would be a lot better if you didn't constantly "cry wolf" by alleging it in situations where it doesn't actually exist or, at best, is so insignificant as to effectively not exist.

Are you denying that OSU and Michigan get and have always gotten preferential treatment?

Helmets get preferential treatment.  

Fans of helmet teams really should be able to admit this.

I think the odds of the Big Ten having 3 teams going  undefeated are 1 out of 6  million.  I would not worry about it.  Ok I admit I just made that number up.  Medina can probably tell us the real odds.
