# 2024 Big Ten Conference football season

The 2024 Big Ten Conference football season is the 129th season of college football play for the Big Ten Conference and part of the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. This is the Big Ten's first season with 18 teams with the additions of UCLA, USC, Oregon, and Washington, and its first season since 2010 with a non-divisional scheduling format.

## Previous season

Michigan won the East Division championship, with the Wolverines making their third consecutive appearance in the Big Ten Championship Game. In the West Division, Iowa won the division title and made their third championship game appearance. In that championship game, Michigan defeated Iowa 26–0 to win the Big Ten championship. With that win, the Wolverines landed a spot in the 2023–24 College Football Playoff as the No. 1 seed and ultimately won the national championship. The Wolverines defeated Alabama in the Rose Bowl in the semifinals of the playoffs and then defeated Washington in the CFP National Championship Game.
Besides Michigan, eight other Big Ten football teams qualified for bowl games: Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, and Wisconsin. The Big Ten overall went 6–4 in postseason games in the 2023 season.

## Coaching changes

The Big Ten saw six head coaching changes for the 2024 season.
On July 10, 2023, Northwestern announced it was parting ways with head coach Pat Fitzgerald after allegations surrounding hazing within the Wildcat football program. On July 14, 2023, Northwestern named defensive coordinator David Braun the interim coach for the 2023 season, and named him the permanent head coach on November 15, 2023.
On September 10, 2023, Michigan State coach Mel Tucker was suspended as part of an investigation into a sexual harassment claim. Secondary coach Harlon Barnett served as interim coach while the case was being sorted out during the 2023 season. Tucker was officially fired on September 27. On November 25, 2023, Michigan State hired Oregon State head coach Jonathan Smith as its next head coach.
On November 26, 2023, Indiana fired Tom Allen after the Hoosiers completed a third consecutive losing season. Indiana hired Curt Cignetti as its new head coach, having previously served as head coach at James Madison.
In January 2024, Kalen DeBoer left Washington to replace the retiring Nick Saban at Alabama, and was replaced by Jedd Fisch, previously head coach at Arizona.
On January 24, 2024, Jim Harbaugh left the Michigan Wolverines to return to the NFL with the Los Angeles Chargers. Two days later, Michigan elevated its offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore, who had served as acting head coach for four games in 2023 from which Harbaugh had been suspended, as Harbaugh's successor.
On February 9, 2024, Chip Kelly announced his resignation as head coach at UCLA to become the offensive coordinator at Ohio State. On February 12, UCLA announced the hiring of DeShaun Foster as its next head coach.
