I just thought of sweet divisional alignment and names. The six remaining original conference members would be in the Charter division, and the six Expansion teams would would be in the other:
Charter
Illinois
Michigan
Minnesota
Northwestern
Purdue
Wisconsin
Expansion
Indiana
Iowa
Michigan St.
Nebraska
Ohio St.
Penn St.
The Expansion division is more top heavy, but so what. Cross-over rivalries would have to be worked out, but with a nine game schedule, that shouldn't be too hard.
I know I'm a Johnny-come-lately with this post, and someone probably already thought of it. But I woke up this morning, and it seemed too perfect not to post.
Two weeks!
