So, the answer is, yes, even with a "gimmicky" offense.

That is not the answer I gave. Please do not infer an answer based on my posts in the future.

Thank you.

Fox runs the B1G Network, News Corp owns Fox, News Corp just bought into YES network. They want an expanded footprint.

Pretty easy to see.

So, with the addition of Maryland and it looks like Rutgers will announce tomorrow, do they shake up both divisions or split Maryland and Rutgers? A geographical split may now make more sense.

Leaders
OSU
Michigan
Michigan State
Penn State
Northwestern
Maryland
Rutgers

Legends
Purdue
Indiana
Illinois
Nebraska
Wisconsin
Iowa
Minnesota

No way is OSU, Michigan, MSU, and Penn st in one division.

Either one will go in one division, and one will go to the other.
Or, they will move one from the Leaders, like Indiana or Illi, and add Rutgers and UMD to the Leaders.

You implied this answer from my answer. A simply apology would suffice Con_Alma.

I'd like to see the Big Ten move to 16 seeing those divisions, so we can get a 4 division split of 4 teams. Then, moving to a 9 game conference schedule, you'd play every team twice over a four year span. Playing Nebraska once 6-8 years, let alone some of those other teams would deeply sadden me.

Rutgers isn't a bottom feeder. They aren't world beaters, definitely adds strength to the middle of the conference

Yeah, the Terps are bad this year, but have a solid class, and a STUD at WR. Diggs is the best WR no one has seen yet. Straight Calvin Johnson like. Just needs a QB (which MD has not had one this year, on their 4th this year.)

Please don't insult Calvin Johnson. Diggs is a stud, but Johnson is legendary.

Uhhh have you seen Diggs?
Just a freshman, but already amazing given the lack of tools around him.
He has the ability to be like Johnson.

Rutgers has as many losses as the best teams from the shithole ACC Notre Dame just signed a deal with.
