The Big Ten and Big East announced on Monday that starting in the 2015-16 season, the two will play an annual series of eight games through the 2020 season.

The Dave Gavitt Tipoff Games, named after the Big East founder, will be played on the first Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of the regular season and will feature four games each at Big Ten and Big East locations.

The series will not affect the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, which will continue to be played.
