I think you have to put UM/OSU in the same division. It's not "fair" to have them apart, but to keep their game every year while the other teams are on a rotation. It's easier to stick them both in the East and have them play each other that way

Fukudome on the Block

The Cubs have a bad history of playing the young guys when season is in the crapper; remember the insistence to play Fred McGriff over Hee Seop Choi so that he could pursue some inconsequential milestone? -
lol, CERA

I just can't imagine spending 2 hours blowing a horn.

Where is this from? I still wonder if they might put PSU in the "west" division even though it makes no sense geographically. It would only affect football and they fly for every game anyways. I could see them wanting to avoid the appearance of a Big 12 North/South imbalance, though the Big Ten West would be stronger. If not, having Wisconsin and Nebraska as the top competition between us and a one game shot at the title every year? Yes please. the source is a Columbus Dispatch article (link) they did say that "competitive balance" was of concern when deciding divisions. You don't want to have the Big Ten West become the Big XII North.

I mentioned this yesterday. It sounds like the game is being played in a hornet's nest.
-
- Big Ten is likely to keep 8 conference/4 non-con games (in order for most schools to keep 7 home games per year) - Likely format is 5 games against your division, 3 against other division. - Divisional formats may be announced by end of summer. Several models are being discussed, and best options will be offered to school AD's for final decisions. - Most likely model is the Eastern time zone teams in one division and the Central teams in the other. This would guarantee that OSU/UM, UM/MSU, etc. would play every year.

if Kansas ends up at a mid-major, Bill Self will be out of there sooooo fast.....

Even if it is, so what? Obviously the Big 10 wanted to get stronger as a conference, otherwise they could have just added Creighton or any other podunk school. The point is, the Big 10 was fine as is, with annual television revenues $37 million greater than the almighty SEC (and $5 million more distributions per team). So the argument is that the Big 10 needed to make more than $37 million more than the SEC? if the Big 10 wanted to "close the talent gap", why would they consider Nebraska or Notre Dame? it's a silly argument, especially since the talent thing is cyclical. I'm sure RedFlash thinks the SEC will dominate for the next 7 decades, but anyone who remembers more than the past 3 years knows they won't

I'm a subsilver2 homer. I think the gray on dark gray of dominion is harder to read.

article today confirmed that Nebraska will start conference football play in 2011 and that there will be a conference championship game

Left hander on mound. Don't worry Hill will be right back in there vs the next Righty on the mound. or as soon as a right-handed reliever comes in

PRAISE every deity there is! Yes Yes! How anyone doesn't use active topics is beyond me. I have a systematic way of working through the forums and how could that not be accomplished 7 times faster by clicking "view active topics" do you only contribute to active topics?
