I know last year there was a push to expand the conference tournament and follow the ACC model of 4 pools of 3 teams.Iowa coach Rick Heller said in a recent news article the Big 10 will move to a 30 game conference schedule next year, with protected opponents each season (guessing that means Iowa and Nebraska for us). Sounds like divisions were desired but they were told that wouldn't be happening in any sport for 2 years. He also mentioned the conference tournament would likely expand to either 10 or 12 teams with some of it being single elimination (ala SEC/ACC tourneys).
