The Big Ten will announce its much-anticipated, two six-team divisional setup for the 2011-12 season later Wednesday, with traditional football powers Ohio State and Michigan in opposing divisions and new member Nebraska aligned with the Wolverines.

Multiple sources told ESPN.com that the two divisions in the Big Ten will look like:

• Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan State, Northwestern and Minnesota.

• Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Purdue, Indiana and Illinois.

The Big Ten issued a press release saying it would announce its divisional alignment at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday. According to sources, the divisions were decided upon Monday.

It's just WRONG to split up OSU and Michigan

1. Stupid Big Ten..

if OSU and Michigan still play in the regular season finale, with the possibility of also meeting in the conference championship game, that means that some years they'll meet two weeks in a row...that doesn't make much sense to me.

2. I know some DUer's are have wet dreams about this, but the whole thing

4. Go pound genetically modified pig(skin)

Those are the breaks, fans.

When they created the Big 12 they separated Nebraska and Oklahoma. About as dumb a move as farting around with the Ohio-Michigan games, possibly playing twice in a row. Double dumb.

But Nebraska does and will fit into the Big Ten -- for lots and lots of reasons...
