Big Ten doesn't want to allow the ACC to have no divisions. They don't want the conference to allow Florida State and Clemson play in the Championship game without being in separate divisions.

That would pressure the Big Ten to follow suit and force Ohio State/Michigan/Michigan State/Penn State to potentially play each other twice in a year. The Big Ten hated having Michigan/Ohio State in separate divisions for that reason. The Big Ten wants uniformity so their big boys don't play multiple times. The Big Ten needed Nebraska and Wisconsin to carry a weaker division. Now Iowa did it this year but the Big Ten doesn't want the imbalanced East to be forced to copy the ACC's idea of 3+5+5 in the future.

The Big XII is easy the Big Ten expanded to 14 and doesn't want to let a 10 team conference have a CCG to have its cake and eat it as well.

None of this CCG stuff from the Big Ten is about ND at all. They want to force the status quo on divisions for a CCG to prevent the ACC from getting se xier TV matchups on CCG Saturday.
