Around the Big Ten

[CGVT]

It would be nice if some of the "neutral site" games were in Indianapolis..

Agreed, but Jerry Jones money speaks louder than the money from Indianapolis sponsors do .. at least that's the way it appears.

Also, it's an excursion into Texas markets.

Nebraska: @ Indiana, @ Ohio State, Maryland

Just as a note on how sideways BIG scheduling has been; this our sixth year in the league, but the first time we play Indiana in football.

[WM Wolverine]

With the Purdue-Indiana split, it means the B1G East won't receive many gimmies vs Purdue or the B1G West won't play Indiana much...

IMO it makes sense for those two to switch divisions every so often but that's just my opinion and should be more up to those two universities than the league.

Might've been posted somewhere else and I missed it but Penn State has also now lost their DC (Shoop)...to Tennessee

[entropy]

The second tier big teams need to start keeping some of these good coaches..

Yeah, Michigan and OSU lose coordinators to head coaching positions...Penn State losing a DC to the same position at Tennessee is a cause for concern unless there's more that went on behind the scenes. Some seem to think Shoop wants the Vanderbilt job that'll open eventually and wanted to be closer to that.

[Rocky Bleier]

Franklin can use it as an excuse and get a few more years at PSU. Sort of like Hoke did at Michigan.

[WM Wolverine]

Hoping Maryland and PSU can balance the power between the two, both be good programs but not ELITE. Lots of good talent in Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, DC, Virginia.

Wow. NfW was down double digits in a year where they won 10 games?

[WM Wolverine]

Iowa down a lot too with the Gophers a big increase?

[Dr. Strangelove]

Iowa had very low expectations after a string of mediocre seasons. Northwestern had a better home slate in 2014.

[Mike]

NW didn't have any home games with UM, OSU, UNL, or MSU. All of which probably would have been sellouts due to visiting fans filling the stadium.
