I'm going to try and figure all of this out. First, we need to split up all the powers to even the divisions: 1. Separate Michigan and Ohio State (football powers) 2. Separate Ohio State and Purdue (womens bball) 3. Separate Purdue and Indiana (mens bball) 4. Separate Indiana and Penn State (soccer) 5. Separate Penn State and Illinois (volleyball) 6. Separate Illinois and Iowa (gymnastics) 7. Separate Iowa and Minnesota (wrestling) 8. Separate Minnesota and Wisconsin (hockey) 9. Separate Wisconsin and Michigan State (cross-country) 10. Separate Michigan State and Northwestern (womens lacrosse) 11. Separate Northwestern and Michigan (softball) Divisions go something like this: Indiana Division Indiana Illinois Division Illinois Iowa Division Iowa Michigan Division Michigan Michigan State Division Michigan State Minnesota Division Minnesota Ohio State Division Ohio State Penn State Division Penn State Purdue Division Purdue Wisconsin Division Wisconsin I feel this is the best way to ensure a fair alignment and give each school a fair chance in each sport.
