didn't want to start a new thread on expansion, but I was thinking about how the new big ten would split its teams up. It seems it is nearly impossible to keep all rivalries intact by doing this.
This just popped into my head so i havent thought of the numerous errors this has but... what if there werent two seperate divisions or pods or whatever and instead each team had three protected rivalries each year, and the rest of the schedule was random and they added a conference game or two. I am thinking along the lines of NBA Draft lottery with pingpong balls deciding a teams schedule. If nothing else it would certainly give the big ten a lot of press during the selection and the aftermath lol.
also popped into my head depending on who we added it could make the name of Big Ten more legit then it is now because there is the potential for there to be ten states in the conference now instead of eight, hence Big Ten
