But the more important key to the story is they built a 36 year time frame to make it so that everybody in the East/West minus Indiana/Purdue get to be 6 year rivals with the other division's 6 teams.
So we'll get 6 year rivals that we then play another 10 times over the other 30 years.

So this has nothing to do with strength of teams but rather balancing out to make sure everyone sees each other.

That was the case previously, but I thought that might have been subject to change post the Covid year. But based on this site, which has usually been reliable in the past, it seems like as of now those protected matchups will take place as previously scheduled starting in 2022 (the first link is for 2021 schedule, you can toggle the year forward.
we played them in Jersey in 2018, Bowser's breakout game. I was at that game. Then this year.I think we have only played Rutgers once. I guess we are waiting for them to have resurgence.
