I wanted Mizzou when Nebraska came. But NO on Rutgers, the Big Ten is not New Jersey. The campus just does not have the same feel and appearance. Color me underwhelmed. :(

It's all about the cable money honey.

Speaking of colors, some in the ACC will be glad for Maryland's uniforms to be gone. :D

As for too far east, if a school in Indiana can be in the Atlantic Coast Conference . . . .



I miss the old ACC.

Am I missing something?

I'm not thrilled about either addition. I rather would have seen Notre Dame join. Whatever.

So disappointed with what the Big Ten is doing. We're a Midwestern conference and very proud of it. Maryland? Rutgers? Please. Nothing against anyone from those schools, but all of this conference realignment is just absolutely ridiculous. :(

I could have seen Notre Dame, Missouri, etc. Nebraska made sense as did Penn State. But this trolling the east coast for new cable markets is insulting.

But then TPTB stopped caring about what the fans think a looooong time ago.
