This is why 12 teams with divisions are stupid. Look at the Pac12 and ACC. And if you do it, it should be at the home field of the top seed. BTW, prepare for UM and OSU to play back to back in the title game next year and often! B1G mistake not putting them in same division.
B1G #FAIL

It's real.
The B1G technically is not hiring seat fillers. They hired a third party company to do it.

Don't believe it. MSU fans are a short drive from Indy. Wisky fans aren't much further.
How could the first championship game not be a hot ticket?
If I hadn't just went home for Thanksgiving or lived closer, I would be there even without the Bucks being there.

If you believe anything Clay Travis writes....just remember hes one of Brooks' Cronnies. There is also a corresponding event happening at the Indiana Convention Center right next to Lucas oil Field on that Saturday. We cannot say for sure, but i'm almost certain this very well may be the recruitment for FOX. Not actually the B1G paying people to put butts in seats

AND the article that sheds some light on the subject:
http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2011/11/30/2600347/someone-is-paying-people-to-fill-seats-at-a-large-athletic-event-in
I hate Clay Travis just about as much as i hate Brooksie Melchior. I try and undermine them as much as possible.
