PISCATAWAY -- Before Rutgers and Maryland joined the Big Ten in 2014, it was a conference of Legends and Leaders.
Seriously, those were the (often-lampooned) names of the two divisions in a 12-team league.
Before Nebraska joined in 2011, it was one 11-team conference with no divisions.
Well, it might be time to strike up the discussion on realignment again. Either of those scenarios sounds preferable to the current setup.
Examples of the disparity between the West Division and East Division are everywhere, but perhaps Rutgers put the biggest spotlight on it by beating Illinois and Purdue in back-to-back weeks.
