This! If the season remains at twelve games then you must win two conferences and then you will make it to a decent bowl game. For the team that loses in the Big 10 championship game their regular season means little.
Worse yet we may have more situations like last seasons national championship game. How would you like to be an LSU? You beat your rival in the regular season but it earns you nothing because you happened to lose to them in a more "important" game.

But they or Indiana need to go off to the East (or, in Delaney speak The Too division). After all, Nebraska is too west to play in the ,Too.

will merge with MSU to form the cheapest fanbase ever. They still won't be able to fill a home football game unless they are playing Michigan OSU or ND.

Louisville will cheapen the brand. It obviously doesn't belong with the 19 other Big Ten schools. It would be a shame too after Purdue "took one for the team" and merged their football team with Indiana - Go Hoosier-Makers!

I believe Penn State just won the lottery. Even with recruiting restrictions, they'll still be in the top 3 of that division every year.
I'm not against Maryland joining, and Rutgers is whatever, but I will secede from the A/C Delco/AIG Big 21 if Louisville is involved.

What Brian is not telling you is that the winner of the championship game between those two ten team divisions then has to play Purdue to go to the Rose Bowl. This was Danny Hope's plan all along!

Not sure why we're self limiting. B1G should add Australian National University (ANU). MSU could give them a game in American rules football, but would get jobbed by the refs and lose a heartbreaker. Also, would be easier for Dantonio to recruit internationaly if he is already in Australia.
