It was reported in January that the Big Ten is also considering this.
Somehow the B1G will find a way to make tOSU, Michigan, and Penn State our "permanent rivals" if they eliminate divisions.
Probably! Would be par for the course.Somehow the B1G will find a way to make tOSU, Michigan, and Penn State our "permanent rivals" if they eliminate divisions.
Probably! Would be par for the course.
The two options I've seen the most speculated on are:
1. Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin
2. Iowa, Minnesota, and Northwestern
I think the first is more likely and that's assuming the conference actually does this, which I don't think is certain yet.No to option 2.
Yep, those would be more logical options for protected rival games. I just don't trust the Big 10 given their fixation on "whatever sells best to TV partners".Probably! Would be par for the course.

Good rivals to have. Play the best to be the bestSomehow the B1G will find a way to make tOSU, Michigan, and Penn State our "permanent rivals" if they eliminate divisions.
What you are saying is noble, but the last thing NU needs after the last 18 years is a competitive disadvantage.Good rivals to have. Play the best to be the best
