SEP 18 UPDATE:
ORIGINAL POST:
Game #9 could be held in domes at neutral sites within the Big Ten football print. Jim Harbaugh is credited with this idea. Reports have mentioned the following 7 locations as possible venues for the 7 East vs. West showdown games on Dec. 18-19:
* Ford Field in Detroit, MI
* US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN
* The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, MO
* The Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY
* Miller Park in Milwaukee, WI
* UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls, IA
* Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN
Also, based on what the Purdue AD & Scott (from the Athletic) tweeted yesterday, it's unlikely Iowa plays tOSU in a crossover game.
IOWA's 9 game schedule, therefore, appears to be:
Division Games:
1. Wisconsin
2. Minnesota (AWAY)
3. Nebraska (their AD pushing for Black Friday)
4. Illinois (AWAY)
5. Purdue (AWAY)
6. Northwestern
Crossover Games:
7. Penn State (AWAY)
8. Michigan State (HOME)
Dec 18/19 B1G Title Game Weekend:
9. Opponent from EAST DIVISION, to be determined
How game #9 will work:
.....# 1 East vs #1 West for B1G CHAMPIONSHIP
.....# 2 East vs #2 West (unless those 2 teams played in regular season)
.....and so on....
