Big Ten Network 2010

Commissioner Jim Delany made it all official tonight on the Big Ten Network, and although Ohio State and Michigan are in different divisions, they will play each year and it will be the final game of the regular season.

-The “X’ division includes Ohio State, Indiana, Illinois, Penn State, Purdue, and Wisconsin.

-The “O” division is made up of Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern.

A team will play each school in its division every year as well as one crossover rival from the opposite division.  For Ohio State the crossover team is Michigan.  Those six games (division teams and crossover rival) are set in stone and will be played every single season.

In an effort to honor, encourage and support the thousands of Big Ten community members who give back, the Big Ten Network is launching Give Big, a major community service initiative.

“Give Big recognizes that being a part of the Big Ten means giving back to the community in a big way.”

The first Give Big profile airs Friday during Big Ten Tailgate, which originates from the University of Iowa and features John Heineman.

It’s Lane Kiffin’s debut as Trojans head coach. The Utes have won 17 consecutive home games and are 7-0 against Big East teams.
