As It reads there is only one protected cross division rivalry but as I look at these schedules for the first four years of the nine game conference schedules each school is playing one other cross-over every year.
Ohio State vs Nebraska
Michigan vs Wisconsin
Michigan State vs Northwestern
Rutgers vs Illinois
Maryland vs Minnesota
Penn State vs Iowa
and of course
Indiana vs Purdue
I had not heard anything about that before.

When will it be called something other than the Big 10 and actually be 2 divisions?
Are you aware of branding. Big Ten is probably biggest brand in college sports yet you want to change it to what Big 14 – so dumb.
