We already know that the B1G is one of the best, if not the best, volleyball conference in the country, especially due to Penn State's national titles, the addition of Nebraska, and rising teams such as Purdue, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Given that, it was known that the B1G schedule for Purdue would be difficult. Including the non-conference schedule, released today, Purdue will play 10 teams that made it to the NCAA Tournament last year, 7 of whom finished in the Top 25.
