24 weeks 1 day ago	This is exactly the set-up	This is exactly the set-up I've been hoping for and a lot of things you posted here were exactly what I was thinking.  One it was great to feel like, maybe the Big Ten will listen at least a little to the fans this go around.  Two, we must get a set-up with no locked crossovers if we are sticking to 8 games (and ideally even for 9).  Losing The Little Brown Jug and Ohio State-Penn State as annual won't be great, but it's a small cost given all the other advantages.  I was thinking about it, and while I wouldn't care for it, they could even make those every other year events.  In this set-up we get 2 non-divisional games a year.  There are 7 teams in each division, so in 4 years, you get 8 games.  You could play the 7 other teams, with 1 of them locked in for a second time.  That way, you'd have The Little Brown Jug and Ohio State/Penn State 2 out every 4 years if they wanted it (I personally don't care about Ohio State/Penn State continuing, but think the conference will).  Doing that and locking Michigan State with an eastern school (2 out of 4 years), you could end up with the following season ending games: Ohio State/Michigan, Nebraska/Iowa, Wisconsin/Minnesota (or switch Wisconsin and Iowa if you want), Purdue/Indiana, Northwestern/Illionis.  The 3 eastern schools would take turns playing each other and Michigan State.
