nothing else to do in Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, or Nebraska.No conference is great if people don't watch the games. People watch SEC and B1G games like their lives depend on it.

Going back to the BCS era, B1G had (28 participants), SEC (27), Big-12 (22), PAC-12 (21), ACC (18). Playoff era, SEC (10 Bama 7, UGA 2), ACC (8 - Clemson 6), B1G (6), Big 12 (4), PAC-12 (2).Has the Big Ten been that great? Rest of the conference really owes a lot to Ohio State, because otherwise I don't really see a significant difference between the two conferences in terms of on-field performance over the last decade+.
Pilch is closer to the reality, B1G fans will watch no matter what crap they're being served up (and they have a ton of fucking massive student-body state schools), whilst the West Coast has the least interest in football -- particularly non-NFL --- of any pocket of the country
The hearts of college football fans#4 in what?
B1G had 3 appearances in the BCS Championship Game (all Ohio State), with 1 championship (Ohio State 2002)Going back to the BCS era, B1G had (28 participants), SEC (27), Big-12 (22), PAC-12 (21), ACC (18). Playoff era, SEC (10 Bama 7, UGA 2), ACC (8 - Clemson 6), B1G (6), Big 12 (4), PAC-12 (2).
Then wouldn't that mean better TV slots for the ACC?ESPN/ABC is going to fuck around and only have the rights to the SEC, ACC, and some G5 conferences.
You’re right. Folks trash the big 10 on here and build up the checks notes southeastern conference because of classism.Just hypothesizing about classist tendencies I've witnessed in relation to deriding fans of big state schools, nothing political.
Kennesaw, GA. Suburb of ATLOne of those schools whose name I know but legitimately couldn't guess where it's located.

Alas! Poor "Alliance!" We knew him (not very) well.Big 10 making moves to ensure the Pac-12's collapse. Trying to get Amazon to up the rights fee ante if the Big 10 adds Washington, Oregon, Cal and Stanford. In addition to the rights fee issue, for all other USC and UCLA sports to survive, they need other West Coast teams in the conference. UCLA soccer can't remain viable playing teams only in the Eastern and Central time zone.
If that happens, Arizona, AZ State, Utah and Colorado would likely head to the Big 12. Oregon State and Washington State would be left out (probably to the Mountain West; sucks for them; like the Beavers). Interesting angle is that ESPN and FOX oppose further expansion because of "cost certainty" concerns, which means that its in ESPN strong interest to keep the ACC as a viable college football alternative. Also, it would seem like such move means that the Big 10 has given up, at least in the short term, on adding Notre Dame.

God, I hate the Big 10. They play crappy football. Yet, because they have mindless fanbases that will watch tedious plodding 10-7 games, they have destroyed the Pac 12. For all of the money that Big 10 generates, they really have some awful football programs.
