[NU Sports] Big Ten Divisional Alignments due out today?

[Jonathan Hodges]

Here's the link to the announcement of the unveiling show:

Reports are that the divisions will be permanent (at least until the Big Ten
expansion investigation period is over in just about 1 year) and they will
also be unveiling the 2011 Big Ten schedule (which may require some
adjustments to NU's 2011 nonconference slate as they have a late November
game scheduled against Rice that may overlap with the conference slate).

There are various rumors floating around as to who will be in which
division, and the picture on the above linked page has an interesting
arrangement as well.  In any case we'll find out for sure tonight (6PM CT).
