'Big Ten splits without creating division'; 'Separation of Wolverines, Buckeyes would make Bo and Woody puke' and more

By Kaleb Roedel

It dominated college football headlines for weeks. Many read about it, some wrote about it, and Ashton Kutcher's doppelganger even video-blogged about it.

Wednesday night, the moment came: The Big Ten division alignments were announced.

And here's a bevy of reactions to the big news.

It isn't a good decision for many Big Ten football players who now will never have the opportunity to play a game in the Big House or a chance to remember being thoroughly beaten by a well drilled Michigan team. Why could they not have a rotating schedule for a non division game? Just replace an earlier non Big Ten conference game while keeeping those guys from across the disputed border.

Well, I can't say if it's a good decision or not I'm not a fortune teller like some of the complainers here. In the first place Nebraska has yet to play a down in the 10, and the system has not been tested yet so for me to say yea or ney is a bit premature although it appears okay we shall see. To me the important thing for us is that we've got the right coach in place for now and the future and I think all those other issues will work out. Go Blue!
