ALTOONA, Pa. -- One of the most fascinating topics concerning the future of Penn State football centers around what will happen when the Big Ten does away with its current two-division format.
Which is coming in 2024, you can bank on it, once USC and UCLA join the league.
The best news is that Penn State no longer will play in the second-best division in college football, the Big Ten East, which includes annual games against Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State. Navigating the division gauntlet against a dominant Buckeyes program and a Michigan program that's once again a powerhouse would always be a major challenge.
