The Atlantic Coast Conference, Southeastern Conference and ESPN today announced the formation of the ACC/SEC Challenge for men’s and women’s basketball, which will begin as part of the 2023-24 season.

ACC and SEC teams will square off as part of the annual Challenge – one in men’s basketball and one in women’s basketball. Each one of the 28 games (30 starting in 2025-26) will be carried on an ESPN platform and each conference will host an equal number of home games. Matchups and game times will be announced at a later date.

I'm hoping they'll still find a way to get at least one local B1G team on the schedule each year, but I'm not holding my breath.
I would love to see Purdue and IU rotated in

Play one or the other in early December every year. Logistically it makes too much sense, and both are great opponents.
