This is what the Athletic had as the initial proposal.Interesting, we will have to see if this goes somewhere or if it is just a rumor.
If true, where might Illinois land and who might we be paired with? I wouldn’t mind a setup with us being grouped with teams like Wisconsin, Iowa, Iowa State, ND, Minnesota, NW, Indiana, Purdue, Missouri, etc.
Ohio St and that entire Midwest region makes zero sense.
