On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back breaking down the huge news that was released last week from the Big Ten, their Flex Protect Plus football scheduling model that will allow all 16 of the teams in the new-look B1G to play everyone in the conference at least once every two years and visit all 15 of the other venues at least once every four years.
