[NU Sports] Big Ten Divisions appear to be firming up

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

The Big Ten has made a lot of smart moves in this expansion era - but this would undoubtedly be one of the "most stupidest" they could come up with.

Who cares about the last 20-30 years? The Big Ten and college football have changed so much within the past decade alone that going on a 20-30 year average is foolish. And placing Michigan and Ohio State in opposing divisions in the hopes that they will end the year in the title game instead of with their usual November game is idiotic, moronic, insipid, stooooooopid and D.U.M.B.

Not as dumb as the B(C)S, but close.

Geography is the only logical way to go here. The SEC didn't try and tinker with geography and it's worked out well. Some years all the power is in the east - now it's in the west. That happens. The ACC tinkered with geography and they have no traditions, rivalries or fans in the seats at their title game.

The Big Ten overthought this one and apparently came up with the worst decision possible. This pretty much negates the good move of adding UNL.

Dumb Big Ten. Dumb.
