[Husker] B1G Football Divisions

[Mike Jaixen]

Actually, I believe that it's likely that Nebraska will see Indiana and Maryland less than Michigan and Ohio State.  I don't have the link, but ESPN had an interview with Jim Delaney where he said they are going to implement priority scheduling for cross-division games.  Each team will play every team in the other division at least once every 4 years, but the top teams in each division will play each other more than the top teams playing the lower teams.  I suspect that Nebraska will only face Indiana and Maryland once every 4 years, and I fully expect to see either Michigan or Ohio State on Nebraska's schedule almost every year once the 9 game conference schedule is implemented.

The B1G announced the new divisions to take effect in 2014 when Maryland and Rutgers come on board. The divisions (to be labelled East and West) are just what everybody figured - Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern and Purdue in the West; everyone else in the East. A nine-game conference schedule will take effect in 2016; the East teams get five home games in even years and West teams in the odd years. Indiana-Purdue will be the only "protected" cross-division rivalry. I suppose that means we will see Indiana slightly less often than the other East teams.
