Big Ten Divisons

[IvyPickin87]

Barry Alverez said yesterday that Iowa and Wisconsin will not be in the same division. Delany has hinted that Ohio St and Michigan will prob be in seperate divisons also. One NBC Sports writer thought the divisons would be this way: Ohio St, Penn St, Iowa, Illinios, Indiana, Purdue. Leaving Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Mich St, Minnesota, and Northwestern in the other. I personally dont think that scenerio is the best for the big ten.

If I put the divisions together giving the teams that "are set"

Division 1
Ohio St
Penn St
Wisc
Indiana
Purdue
Minnesota

Division 2
Michigan
Nebraska
Iowa
Mich St
Illinios
Northwestern

With these divisions you are protecting most of the preserved rivalries. (Granted you get your one protected rival game from the other divison.)

Protected Games
Ohio St vs Mich (cant ever ever get rid of this one)
Penn St vs Mich St (this rivalry has gotten more heated over the past couple years)
Iowa vs Minn (this rivalry is one of the older ones in the big ten starting in the early 20th century)
Wisc vs Neb (the badgers have been trying to get this game since it was announced that neb was coming to the big ten.)
Illinois vs Purdue (Battle for the purdue cannon.)
Indiana vs Northwestern not really a rivalry game but it could become one with the other games that are already protected.

I want to get your thoughts CCS posters if there is something you would change and make the divisions you would have if you were Jim Delany.
