Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that this summer Nebraska joined the Big Ten to make 12 teams and the possibility of a championship.This necessitates that teams be split into two divisions. Now, the question is how to split the divisions, and which teams to put where. It has been stated by the Big Ten commissioner that competitive fairness is the biggest criteria for divisions.
While at first it was assumed that Michigan and OSU would be kept in the same division and would continue playing the last regular game of the season, in the last couple weeks there has been a push to split them, so they can play each other for the championship, as well as during the year. Many officials at both schools have expressed support for this, but fans of both schools have been against the idea. The President of OSU, Gordon Gee, supports moving the Michigan-OSU game from the last game of the season to sometime during the season, meaning Michigan and OSU would be in diferent divisions. The ADs from Michigan and OSU have stated that no final decision has been made.
