With the news of the Big Ten adding USC and UCLA in 2024, the idea of what team goes in what division comes up. Also, the Big Ten still wants to add Notre Dame. ND wants no part of Big Ten (except for Hockey)
With the two California teams coming, not only will Football be more competitive, but Volleyball will as well. More early season Baseball and Softball road games as well.
We know that football will redo the divisions, will the other sports as well?
If they do, I'd assume Football, Basketball and other sports will have the same set up.
Here is my idea for new divisions. Please comment below what you think
East - Rutgers, Maryland, Penn State and Ohio State
Lakes - Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern and Wisconsin
Midwest - Indiana, Illinois, Purdue and Iowa
West - Minnesota, Nebraska, USC and UCLA
Yes Minnesota and Nebraska in the west. It make sense. Those here in Minnesota should be use to our teams playing a west coast schedule. (NBA and NHL)
If the Big Ten can add Notre Dame then the Midwest becomes a 5 team division. Still talks of 2 more PAC 12 teams joining the Big Ten later.
Big Ten will have 16 teams
PAC 12 down to 10
Must be the new math they teach
