Rutgers @ USC Fri Night kickoff at 11 p.m. ET

So much for the good of the student athletes, huh? Not to mention the Rutgers fans, who will see the clock strike midnight early in the second quarter of one of their most anticipated matchups of the year. I believe the current composition of the Big Ten is ridiculous and unsustainable long term, and that something akin to the Super League we saw floated earlier this year will be the answer in eight or so years to correct this mess that the chancellors, conference commissioners and TV executives have created through sheer greed and flagrant disregard for the sport. Michigan and Ohio State could play in a 10-team Big Ten identical to its 1992 composition, schedule three power conference teams OOC each year and probably have a schedule that is just as appealing to the networks. Not to mention they could stop splitting equal shares with Northwestern and Minnesota and make even more than they do now. And don't even get me started on travel for basketball/non-revenue sports.
