Funny they included Ohio state in that group.  They should be in the Great Lakes.  They are further east and closer to a great lake than say a school like IU.

Go back and look at your original post in the End of the NCAA thread, it says right there: "We're tired of being by a small school that we can't do something." The big boys don't just want to break away from the NCAA, they way to break away from the smaller, low sports revenue schools.

Those are not the same "small schools" that were being talked about there.  If you read the article, he is quoted as saying "some small school up in the northeast" and questioning "why Alabama and Binghampton [are] in the same division."  They aren't talking about Power 5-type schools.  They're talking about the schools on down the list.  Even if it's more than just the B1G and SEC, they can have enough pull to do what they want, without the "little schools" having votes.

Because they need a bigger pool of teams to play than that.

Yes, but that doesn’t mean they have to do this. They will break away and add the remaining big names and then have their own National Championship. 
 

Clemson, Florida State, Miami, North Carolina, Virginia, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma St, Colorado, Kansas, Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, Utah 

That makes 48.  Then you create six 8 team divisions. Play 7 against your division and 5 out of division. 6 winners are in and 6 wildcards. 12 of 48 in playoffs or top 25%. 
 

Or, more likely, the SEC gets to 24 and so does the B1G. You have AFC/NFC style playoffs and then SEC v B1G

edit: forgot Notre Dame

Yes, that's exactly what I said.

Butttttt why is Ohio State in the Midwest.   Seems more Great Lakes or Mid East to me.  Illinois, Indiana or Purdue would be a better geographical fit - OSU is on the east side of those schools. 

Or better yet, move Colorado west and insert Nebraska in the Plains Division with our old Big 8 rivals.

If we’re  being honest, it’s because the Midwest needs at least one elite team. I don’t think those other teams, Nebraska included, measure up. I buy Nebraska and the plains, but those three alternatives you give for Ohio State just wouldn’t stack up in that division.

Obviously they were doing a little shuffling to try to adjust for competitive balance.  That's why Notre Dame got shipped to the East.

If this has a snowball's chance, it is interesting we'd get stuck wt OSU as they seemed to be on our schedule more than any other old east division team since we joined the conference.  But, maybe we beat them this year and it won't matter :D

If we are good, it won't matter.  We either see them in the regular season or see them or equivalent in the playoff.

Word was there was a "random" draw for an opponent that would stick for several (6?) years.  We "drew" Ohio State.

So they should have shifted off.  But now all that is out the window.

Off topic, but I find the orientation of the teams from Illinois and Indiana interesting on this map given their actual geographic location in those states.
