I don't want this alignment, I like what we have now.
I don't think the idea that the "west" division has better depth holds true.... Iowa, Minny, and Illinois aren't going to field any contenders within the next 5 years, if ever.... NW has a 10-15 year window of success with Fitz at the helm, but how likely is it that they maintain that over the next 50 years? MSU and Wiscy should be solid, but aren't ever going to be annual BCS contenders. Wisconsin is the closest thing to it, but nobody really knows what is going to happen with Wiscy's new coach, they could be on a 5 or 10 year skid for all we know. And its not like they have 50 years of success to look back on like NU or the top-3 from the other division.
The east division will always have nationally intriguing division races with tOSU, UM, and PSU. And then there is Rutgers, who has as much of a chance (probably better) to sustain long-term success as NW, Iowa, or even MSU.
This alignment would also kill any chance of a rivalry forming between NU and UM. And possibly kills the rivalry with PSU if they chose not to keep the cross-over game, like they have considered.
/end rant
As far as the Black Friday game, I would love for PSU or Wiscy to take Iowa's spot if thats how the divisions are worked out.... I've also wondered about not locking in an opponent if no other team wants to make it permanent. It could simply become a Nebraska tradition, not a NU v Iowa or NU v PSU tradition, by rotating our Black Friday opponents from year to year. IDK, just a thought.
50 years?
In today's CFB environment that we are so lucky to have had Delany put us in
, your analyzing the outlook of this division over the next 50 years!westoaksarthur

Imagine if we play Wisconsin on Friday after Thanksgiving and then OSU and Mich the next day. B1G would own the weekend. I would have to think that sounds attractive to the big shots.

No, the INS isn't chasing him; Taylor Martinez just runs like that. . . .
