per Greder:
The Big Ten can stop dividing football programs into two divisions, according to an NCAA rules change Wednesday, and the Gophers are OK with that, if one thing remains in a new setup.
“Whatever we end up doing, I just hope we protect those rivalries because that’s a big part of who we are and what we’re about,” University of Minnesota Athletics Director Mark Coyle was quoted by ESPN at Big Ten meetings this week.

Gophers football OK with Big Ten ditching divisions if rivalry games remain
Maintaining annual games vs. Wisconsin and Iowa are the Gophers’ top priority.

Go Gophers!!
