Division Realignment, College Football Playoff Among Popular Topics of Discussion at Big Ten Media Days

CHICAGO – Is it time for another round of division realignment in the Big Ten?

Following five straight Big Ten Championship Game wins by East division teams since the last round of division realignment in the conference, that has been one of the most popular questions at this week’s Big Ten media days.

Count Penn State coach James Franklin as a coach who believes there at least needs to be a conversation about the possibility.

“I think the East is very strong and has been very strong for a number of years, and I think obviously you can have the argument over history, there's ebb and flow, but if you look at the East it's pretty strong,” Franklin said.
