I wrote to both Delany and the AD's. Every real OSU/TTUN fan needs to. jdelany@bigten.org athletic_directory@osu.edu Geographic split makes the most sense because all teams have ups and downs. Not only easier for travel, but to save "THE GAME". Michigan and OSU need to be in the same division, and play the last game of the regular season, in hopes of likely getting a shot at the championship, or spoiling it for the other guy. Ohio St Michigan Penn St would be the usual power teams in the east. Wisconsin Iowa Nebraska would be the traditional power teams west. Splitting OSU, and Michigan just so you could hope to have an OSU/Michigan B10 Championship is STUPID. Its very unlikely it would happen as often as some people would hope, as generally one team is on the up, and the other on a "down" (down for either team is usually still 7+ wins, Michigan is just being "special" the last two years). Plus seeing as how we are looking at a 9 game in conference schedule within a couple years, the cross divisional play will simply be on a rotation, you're playing teams you want to play. Look at the Florida St, Miami split in the ACC. How many times have we had the storied ACC championship (the reason they were separated) ... 0 times. That's how many. Or look at the old OU vs Nebraska rivalry which use to be HUGE ... and is now dead because the voters decided to vote against tradition. Sure OU got an even bigger rival in Texas ... but Nebraska got nothing. Lastly ... playing Michigan in football should be a once a year thing for annual bragging rights, I don't ever want them twice ... ever ... win or lose.
