Saw a report that claimed the Big10 wants to

If I were king, I would get rid of Rutgers and Maryland. 100%

I don't think NEB fits, but perhaps they're a bridge to the west and corn people, etc.

If I were a ruthless hack looking for $$, looking to bump? Illinoi and NW maybe, but don't they give you Chicago eyeballs? So NW out, but you have to keep Illinois I would think.

IU and PU give you Indiana eyeballs. IOW, who cares. How big is Indianapolis? 800,000?

So if they were looking to make room for 2 teams, I'd toss Rutgers and Maryland. Problem is they like eastern time zone eyeballs. NYC, Boston etc.

If they were looking to cut beyond those two? NW.

Beyond that? Man, now you're cutting to the bone. Purdue and IU are long long long time Big Ten programs. Maybe NW is too, I confess to not being an expert there.

I think Northwestern was an original

Big 10 member going back to 1896.

I think they stay.

Well Indiana and Purdue are the two most successful basketball schools in conference history. And while each of them only won one rose bowl. Is that enough? Do you toss them?

I mean when I think of big ten I think of Michigan and Ohio state. And really after that? I think Purdue and Indiana. Do you chuck them? I guess it would be like the pac chucking cal and Stanford

doubt iu and purdue would face the axe, but don't kid yourself: the networks will be making these decisions, not the conferences.

I believe it. I can see espn sitting there showing b10 presidents like 6 million eyeballs in Indiana and then saying now we have Florida state and Miami. Both with better programs. Higher rankings and ratings. And 22 million eyeballs. Oh I’m a new region.

so our numbers indicate we could create a super conference with our own bowl game for the conference title and our own national championship. And that equates to $2 billion over 5-10 years so every one of you gets $20 million more a year if we say goodbye to the Hoosier state.

And just like that purdue and Indiana become members of the MidAmerican conference lol

Tulane (1964) and Georgia Tech (1966) each left the SEC .....afer getting their ass kicked.

SMU (1995)TCU (1995) and Rice (1996) were left behind when the SWC teams "reaplgned".

Lets purge the weaklings....let's everyone in the Big10 "right size" and align similar goals....instead of hanging around...getting your ass kicked for money. Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, Rutgers and Maryland....GTF OUT!!!
