Penn St keeps Ohio St in new Big 10 division

Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE —

STATE COLLEGE — The Big Ten's new football divisional breakdown and schedules going into effect next season leaves Penn State in the same six-team division as border rival Ohio State.

The Nittany Lions also get an annual "crossover" game with the conference's newest member, Nebraska. The Cornhuskers will be in the other Big Ten division.

The conference Wednesday night announced the new alignment going into effect in 2011, along with the new schedules for the next two seasons. The moves were necessitated by Nebraska this summer accepting a bid to join the Big Ten at the conference's 12th member.

Besides Ohio State, the other teams in Penn State's division will be Illinois, Indiana, Purdue and Wisconsin.
