Andy Staples of The Athletic suggested the Big Ten invite the following schools to join their league:
USC
UCLA
Cal
Stanford
Oregon
Washington
The next step would be to divide the reconstituted 20 team league into four 5 team divisions:
Rutgers
Maryland
Penn State
USC
UCLA
Michigan
Ohio State
Michigan State
Cal
Stanford
Wisconsin
Minnesota
Indiana
Illinois
Purdue
Iowa
Northwestern
Nebraska
Oregon
Washington
Each team would play the other four teams in their division and every team in one other division each year (9 conference games). The interdivisional opponents would rotate every two years to enable every school to play a home and home v. every other team in the league within a six year period.
Given the tenuous situation that all schools currently face, securing a spot in a prestigious conference like the Big Ten would be quite a coup for Cal.
Now, let's talk about that assignment to the division which includes Ohio State.
