I know geography tends to dictate divisions, but in the Big Ten's case, why bother? The conference is used to traveling to all the other teams already. Why not just split the teams up in as even a manner as possible and be done with it.
Kick Ass Division
OSU
Mich
Mich St.
Purdue
Iowa
Indiana
Take Names Division
Penn St
Pitt
Wisconsin
Northwestern
Minnesota
Illinois
You can switch around teams some if need be. The point is that geography shouldn't limit competitive balance when distances traveled aren't going to change from the status quo.
