I thought Syracuse & Pitt would make more sense. Not too many big football schools when you get to that region. But UNC and UVA are better academically. will be more of a culture shock though.
just for "fun":
New Big Ten East:
Maryland
Rutgers
UNC
UVA
PennSt
ohio
MICHIGAN
MSU
New Big Ten West:
IU
Purdue
NWestern
UI
UW
Minn
Iowa
Nebraska
without adding an additional game... we'd only play one crossover a year. Would we get Minnesota to preserve the Brown Jug game?
I'd suggest they add a couple more, and make one a cross-division rival, and make the other(s) tied to prior year record, kinda like the NFL does.
I think there has been a few gaps in the rivalry... We did not play Minnesota in 1999 and 2000. And i think it has happened a few times .. I am ok with a rotating games with the other division.. No need to keep the Brown jug alive every year..
