So no, there's not much "there" yet. It's not a "thing" right now. And by the time it becomes a "thing", they won't play anymore.

It's STUPID.
why in the wide wide world of sports don't the guys in charge of making the billions of dollars understand this?????
when my oldest daughter was 4 years old she understood that Nebraska not playing Oklahoma was STUPID

UNL and OU not playing every year was the demise of the XII as we knew it. That's my opinion and I'm gonna stick to it.

That was the glue that could have held that conference together. But NOOOO..

Had the Big 8 added only Texas and aTm, it might've worked imo.

I think geography was the problem.  The major players had too many options, and it allowed them to hold the rest of the conference hostage.

I am guessing if the original Big 12 would have done permanent cross-division rivals, it would have looked something like this

Neb-Oklahoma
Col - Texas A&M
Mizzou - Texas
Kansas - OSU
KSU - Texas Tech
Iowa St - Baylor

Wouldn't have mattered without the option to bail for any other major conference.

I have heard speculation that MSU and Purdue might trade divisions in 2022.  In which case the logical fixed cross-overs should be

MSU-Mich
Wisc- OSU
Neb-PSU
Iowa-MD
NW-Pur
Minn-Rut
ILL-Indy

But then you have a new problem of what should be the opponent for the last game of the season for each team.

I would simply leave things as is

then have Purdue and Indiana play each other each season

Is there a link or source for that speculation?

At the time, Texas and Colorado actually had some recent history so a lot of folks proposed that as the potential permanent x-div rival for each of those teams had the B12 done in that direction.  Honestly beyond NU and OU though, they're all sort of artificially forced.  Some thought at the time it would look like this:
Oklahoma - Nebraska 
Texas - Colorado
Texas A&M - Missouri
ISU - Baylor
Oklahoma State - Kansas State
Then the last pairing of Texas Tech - Kansas is kind of odd, but we're putting square pegs into round holes anyway.

My favorite CFB era was the two year window where Big East FB and the Southwest Conference simultaneously existed.
