VectorVictor Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I hope we get Rutgers in our division... Being able to go to New Brunswick every other year to watch the Scarlet Knights get the hell knocked out of them, is good with me... How is that as a trip? Is it worth visiting? It's New Jersey. You really need to ask? Quote Link to comment

QMany Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Leave it to ESPN to put out an article with identical ideas: http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/67932/how-you-want-b1g-to-align-divisions At least they give a hint of credit. Quote Link to comment
Muck Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Give us Penn St. ..... Hey if you promise to take them out behind the woodshed, split their head with a shovel & then bury the remains you can have them for free. How is that as a trip? Is it worth visiting? It's within spitting distance of NYC. Quote Link to comment
sentient1z Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I believe competitive balance and access to Ohio/Michigan through regular opportunities to play them is very important for recruiting. I voted for the plus one option. It wasn't offered, but a North/South split might work well. Quote Link to comment

Well, I'm an hour away from Piscataway, it means I get a Husker game every other year... Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I don't see how the Inner/Outer can even be an option. Would increase travel costs for those unfortunate outer schools. How is that fair at all? Quote Link to comment

How is that fair at all? In all honesty how much of a difference will it make? Your football team will fly to NJ or MD about once more a year & Indiana one less time on average. Is that worth increased access to those east coast recruiting territories? Quote Link to comment
Army_Allen Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yeah I think being able to sell the playing yearly on the east coast would pay dividends over every 4-6 years. Quote Link to comment

How about Nebraska, Illinois, Purdue, Indiana, Ohio St., Maryland, and either Iowa/Penn St. Other division Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Mich, Mich St., Rutgers and either Penn St./Iowa. If they put PSU with the other division, it would satisfy the perennial power break up. If they are in ours, there are still two newer powers together in the other division, along with Michigan.

Excel Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 We should make the divisions a bit more competitive. The top teams all in one grouping, We could do it by overall wins: Division A: Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, Minnesota, Michigan State, Wisconsin Division B: Rutgers, Maryland, Iowa, Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern and Indiana or by National Championships: Division A: Michigan, Ohio State, Minnesota, Michigan State, Nebraska, Illinois and Penn State Division B: Maryland, Iowa, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Purdue, Northwestern and Indiana Conference Championships: Division A: Nebraksa, Michigan, Ohio State, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Maryland Division B: Iowa, Purdue, Northwestern, Michigan State, Penn State, Rutgers, Indiana All Americans: Division A: Michigan, Ohioa State, Nebraska, Rugters, Penn State, Minnesota, Michigan State Division B: Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Purdue, Maryland, Indiana, Northwestern Heismans: Division A: Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Penn State, Minnesota, Iowa Division B: Rutgers, Michigan State, Illinois, Purdue, Maryland, Indiana, Northwestern Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I say East/West and give us Wisconsin the day after Thanksgiving. Screw Iowa and their cry baby administration. 2 Quote Link to comment

You really need to ask? I have heard, through friends at least, that parts of Jersey aren't that bad. Of course this is all hearsay. All I know is what I see in the media and hear from comedians, so I'd have an irrational fear of being whacked by a mobster while surrounded by orange, oversexed, female oompa-loompas, all while someone whined that they weren't even supposed to be there today. All kidding aside, I've heard they've got some good stuff. Wouldn't mind going to Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in Red Bank, NJ. Quote Link to comment
