Episode 19: On a Division-Less Big Ten and the Specifics of Slander

Serena and Matt discuss what the Big Ten would look like if it were to ditch divisions (which is where the major conferences seem to be headed), who Michigan should be locked in with as "rivals," what realignment would mean for the conference title game and The Game itself, and which college football players/coaches we'd wake up at 4:45 a.m. for just to slander.The NCAA says goodbye to divisions What might a division-less Big Ten look like? Pods? Matt proposes a system of locked-in rivals One thing we can't have is Michigan getting OSU/PSU/MSU and functionally guaranteeing itself the hardest schedule in the conference always. We're supposed to be making it better, not worse. The Big Ten Championship Game is a mess We could get a repeat of "The Game" in the next week Does it cheapen "The Game?" Who would you wake up at 4:45 am to slander? Its not slander if its true!! Early betting lines on Michigan's games
