Also, here is are the leaked division from multiple sources according to
ESPN's Andy Katz: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=5519832

- Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, MSU, NU, Minnesota
- OSU, PSU, Wisconsin, Purdue, Indiana, Illinois

A protected crossover game is also expected (e.g. NU will keep its annual
rivalry with Illinois).

Both the 2011 & 2012 conference schedules will be unveiled this evening as
well.
