They each have to have 7 home games because reasons, and because the B1G has 9 conference games (assuring 5 league road games every other year), that means they can only play 1 road game every two seasons out of conference — ergo, they can only play 1 real opponent every two seasons out of conference. Neither of them wants that spot to always be filled by ND.
