2010 is the end of the two year cycle of not playing Illinois and Purdue. Iowa was scheduled to have Northwestern and Michigan State leave the schedule in 2011 and 2012. It is premature to know the effects on the schedule. Right now it looks like five in division games and three cross division games. Unless of course the conference expands to 14 before then. The it would be six and two. I hope that is as large as it gets.
