Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Treat it like intercollegiate athletics and not a business.

Competitive balance should be more important than $$$.
I agree 100% but unfortunately that s not the way t works, and it hasn't worked that way for a long time. It takes a lot of money to run a big time athletic program.
You're just a bit late today hog :)

Why in the blue hell do they have to use divisions for basketball? The ACC has two divisions in football, but they don't in basketball. I know the Big 12 doesn't do divisions in basketball, but their scheduling seems like they do. Notice all the teams in the South division for football play the same teams twice and only once against the North division teams.

Weird that the only two B10 programs to operate in the black last year were two teams that didn't make bowl games. That'd be Purdue and IU.

Edit: OSU did also

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

Interesting stat, DC. We all know that IU makes a shitload of money on basketball, but they didn't do too bad in football last year either. Shows you that football attendance isn't the end-all in making money in intercollegiate athletics.

as someone else said, why even bother with divisions in basketball? It's only one more team added to the conference, and there's a tournament at the end of the season anyways.

Divisions are football only according to Delany.

Please show objective evidence! It will convince us if you post it. ;)

So Chops was right. The BT breaking into 2 divisions on affects football. Apparently basketball will not have a division this year and plans to have one are still in limbo. If they do have one, it will most likely be totally different than football.

Here is what ITH reported:

So, about that Big Ten divisions for basketball report
by Alex Bozich in Media | September 1st, 2010
Apparently, ESPN’s Andy Katz jumped the gun on the report I referenced in the post below (Steve Alford to Mizzou, anyone?) that stated the following information on Big Ten divisions:

In men’s basketball, according to sources, the Big Ten is expected to play a 16-game conference schedule by taking a model similar to those used by the Big 12 and the Southeastern Conference. In those leagues, teams play each division opponent twice and then single games — three at home and three on the road — against teams in the opposing division.

The Big Ten announced football divisions on Wednesday evening and commissioner Jim Delaney had the following to say about men’s basketball:

“In basketball, they will start their own course,” Delany said. “The sport is structured completely differently.”

Our friend Dustin Dopirak of The Herald-Times also had this tidbit from the Big Ten’s teleconference:

Delany said the divisions do not apply to basketball, and that he does “not see any compelling reason,” to have divisions in basketball at all because the dynamic of the sport is so much different from football. He said if the league’s athletic directors decided they wanted divisions, he would be amenable to it, but that those would also be competitively balanced. The current divisions, which most notably, would provide a cakewalk for Michigan State with Iowa, Northwestern, Michigan, Nebraska and Minnesota as their division mates, would be “irrelevant,” as Delany put it.

So there we have it. No super, incredibly unbalanced basketball divisions as earlier reported. Dylan has a nice writeup over at UMHoops on why the Big Ten did the right thing by avoiding divisional misalignment for hoops. And with that, we can all go back to counting down the days to a Cody Zeller decision.

Here's the article from ITH: http://www.insidethehall.com/2010/09/01/so-about-that-big-ten-divisions-for-basketball-report/

No inequality in basketball... no worries about MSU running the field every year.


In football though, there's gonna be thousands of pissed of Michigan/tO$U fans, no more rivalry game. I could give 2 shits about that game.
