Nebraska coach Mike Riley has been given a one-year contract extension through the 2020 season.

Riley originally signed a five-year contract when he was hired in December 2014. The extension now puts him on a four-year contract. Riley is 16-12 with the Cornhuskers. Athletic director Shawn Eichorst said the extension is indicative of his belief in Riley’s leadership.

The Big Ten Conference has also announced a change in its rivalry matchups in football.
Nebraska will play Minnesota and Iowa will play Wisconsin on the final week of league play each season.
Iowa and Nebraska have closed the regular season against each other since the Cornhuskers joined the conference in 2011.
