They are still sussing it out.
But the Big 10 is looking at individual schools deciding how many permanent opponents to have.
If Michigan wants to play Ohio State and Michigan State all the time, great.
If Wisconsin wants Minnesota, but no one else, that works too.
Just means you cycle through the variable teams a little quicker.
I really wish the SEC would do this. Play 9 games, great. But no reason Kentucky has to pretend that Mississippi State is a rival to play every year. Why do we get penalized and have to go to Starkville or on of the Colombiad twice every 4 years?
