[Husker] B1G Football Divisions

[Dave Ratchford]

The sad thing is they got it right the first time. The divisions and protected games had great matchups and parity. It was the names that many couldnt get past. New names are "cool kids" and "nerds". Hope Delaney was right about scheduling the better teams against each other inter-division. I would think you couldnt schedule as far in advance as is done now but that is a good thing. Delaney is a very smart guy...even though he is responsible for Legends and Leaders. That was truly a whiff.

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.
