Creighton/Nebraska
Georgetown/Maryland
Marquette/Wisconsin
Hall/Rutgers
Butler/Purdue or Indiana
X/Ohio State

There are plenty of in-state rivalry games that occur either annually, or at least regularly, that can still fit the B1G/BE Challenge (heck, many of these games have occurred under the Gavitt Games banner). I think we will still see a number of games annually between the Big East and Big Ten, IMO.

of those 6 you list, only 3 are going to continue I think- Creighton/Nebraska, Marquette/Wisconsin, and Hall/Rutgers. They ended the crossroads classic unfortunately.

It'll be interesting to see how many games happen with the Big Ten now outside of those 3 and the exempt tournaments.

FWIW, DePaul/Northwestern is probably a thing going forward.
