The pros of a split division Big 10 would be a conference championship, which would be played alternately at Soldier Field in Chicago and Lucas Oil in Indy.
Of course the Big Blue and tOSU fans of the world want to keep the tradition of having their little rivalry game be the last Big Ten regular season game. Problem is, a lot of these Big Ten teams don't play after Thanksgiving and are often (see Illinois in the 2008 Rose Bowl against Southern Cal) rusty when they play in January for their respective bowl games.
A championship game would give teams one more week of practice leading up to the game.
Also, Michigan and tOSU would be in different divisions, so you could also see a Mich-tOSU Big 10 Championship game if one team held a tie-breaker over another division team with the same record.
For one, it would be great for Chicago and Indy to have a championship game played in their city. There are more Michigan alums in Chicago than Northwestern alums in Chicago.

i read that neither oregon nor oregon state will play us, so we have a game with portland to serve as conklin's homecoming game. i don't understnd why they wouldn't play us. is it because it is a home and home and they don't want to play us in st louis? or is it that they don't want to play us at their place? i would think they would play us one game at their place, but i could be wrong. what about other homecomings, like for KM or WR?
Would Chris May be able to schedule Colorado? Big XII team, plus the Return of Relephord.

Oh, I get it, Mr. Cush (1st-poster-guy):
You are constitutionally unable to recognize irony. sorry, let me try to explain:
I was saying NOTHING NEGATIVE about Rob Loe. The exact opposite, in fact.
I was mocking those who were: those who thought they could watch some sorry-ass all-star game, and evaluate his talents. I find that concept idiotic. The concept that anything might be made of that game, I mean. Get it??
Did you actually think I seriously meant that they SHOULD revoke his schollie, based on that silly game? Man, that may even qualify as lamer than the NIKE Hoops summit thread... Just when I thought the bar had been set, too!
Sorry if I don't identify you as our generation's answer to Jonathan Swift, but irony is often picked up by the person's tone of voice or non-verbally. Kind of hard to do that via the written word,doc.

HATE. Majerus calls him the "jewel of the Pacific". Good stuff.

good news; and a GLOWING report from RM and staff. Sounds like a quality kid, and I love bigs who can pass!
Evidently Coach M and Porter and Harriman did not watch the Nike Hoops Summit, or whatever that thing was called, since they did not immediately revoke the schollie...
ps: if someone does end-of-year nominations; I think that thread on Loe's performance at that all-star game may qualify as one of the lamest and most inane threads in billikens.com history; at the very least, it must be among the most idiotic of the year.
I actually watched a few minutes of that game (!), and other than being mildly impressed by a few of those guys (the Turk going unfortunately to KY is going to be a very good one); I admit that I learned almost nothing about Rob Loe. I was deeply amazed that so many on here believed they were prepared to make long-term predictions based on that alley game, but then again, maybe I am not a very good observer, or judge of talent like the others.
on a side note: I am on a billikens.com diet: one post a month--how's that working for everyone? does anyone miss me???
hey doc, ever think that the kid might be a little wore out after traveling all the way from New Freaking Zealand???

What about playing Madison in Milwaukee or Chicago and knock out Evans, McCall and Mitchell?
