Tressel against midseason Michigan matchup?

The only people happy with the purported change are the money-grubbing suits! tOSU v. tSUN should be the season ender and both should be in the same division.

I don't particular favor either schools, but I'm all for tradition, and when you let money dictate how your decisions you've already showed your hand.

They just don't want to have the teams possibly win their divisions and play for the title on consecutive weeks...
I wouldn't want to see that either. Tradition means alot in the Big 10, but unfortunately tv ratings trump that!

I'm sure this is the prevalent sentiment outside Big Ten fandom, FJJ.However, there's a lot of anxiety within the conference that Delany is going to muck up a great and storied rivalry just for the sake more money. I agree with that belief, and I deplore that pecuniary attitude.Whatever the outcome, I don't think schedules are written in stone. They'll tweak 'em as needed. Delany'll see the error of his ways.

Another belief outside B10+2 country is that the rivalry won't be "mucked up".

Many believed the wild card would destroy baseball, but that seemed to work out OK.

If the game is played in October or even September it's still The Game.

ok, let's play Alabama-Auburn in September, then. Let's play Texas/Texas A&M before Texas plays Baylor or whoever. Let's have Army/Navy in midseason. How does all of that sound? No problem, right? It wouldn't diminish the traditions of those games. Nothing would change. It's all the same.

Nonsense.

FJJ is totally wrong. timing and tradition matters--a lot. it's huge. this isn't baseball where the yankees and redsox play many times across a 162 game schedule. it's college football. games are few, rivalaries are old and people schedule their year around it.

Fix all of those problems by telling your AD that Michigan and Ohio State should be in the same division and play at the end of the year. There. Fixed.

You will learn my son FJJ knows EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING. Just ask him he will tell you.
