DOOM for Leaders & Legends?
With "unprecedented" mentalities coming tomorrow for PSU, I can't see how Jim Delany has any other choice but to disband the 2-division set-up for football. Once PSU is banned from the post-season, in 2012 the Leaders division will have have 1/3 of its teams ineligible for the Championship game (OSU & PSU). With only 10 teams eligible and 3 of the best teams (UM, Nebraska & M$U) in the Legends division, it only makes sense to move (back) to a 10 team division where the top 2 eligible teams represent the conference in the championship.
Come on guys, this could be Indiana's only chance to ever reach 4th place in their division. Let's give it a chance.
This really isn't going to change anything, anyway. Wiscy was and is still a lock for their division's berth in the B1G Championship Game. Ohio will start winning it next year. PSU has been only mildly relevant on the field for most of its tenure in the B1G. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I believe the NCAA has a rule on this and what you need to have in order to play a bowl game. This may suck for a year, but you don't blow up your structure for one year. Next year Ohio will be back and who knows what will happen with PSU. But you certainly don't blow things up for one year, especially when that year starts in 6 weeks.
Impressive
