According to a Chicago Tribune article, the Big 10 is trying to convince
Northwestern to move to the "East" division.

 Big Ten officials have inquired as to whether Northwestern would be open
> to pairing with the Eastern block of schools. The thinking is Northwestern
> is a national university with large alumni bases up and down the East
> Coast. And if Northwestern went east, the western division could be tidy:
> Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Purdue and Wisconsin. That
> would leave an eastern division of Northwestern, Maryland, Michigan,
> Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers. But the strong
> preference of NU officials is to stay west. Assuming a western division
> with Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin and either Indiana or
> Purdue, the Wildcats and their fans would have reasonable drives to
> everywhere but Minneapolis and Lincoln.
