I just don’t see the Big 10 getting rid of any of its “legacy” members.
Maybe Rutgers leaves at some point, giving up on FBS altogether if it can’t get a life raft to get out of the hole.
But the Big 10 also rans are not going anywhere (Iowa, Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, etc). Those schools help in the academic area and beyond that, they are needed to help prop up the 3-4 teams at the top.

Its laughable thinking big 10 is getting rid of founding members that dates back 125 years. Indiana is the current champ. Lol

Never say never. Ask Washington State and Oregon State 5 years ago if they thought their fellow PAC 12 members would leave them for greener pastures. Ok, it was only a conference for 110 years, maybe the extra 15 years of existence will ensure the B1G loyalty. :cool:

Money can tear any relationship apart. With the number of B1G teams still running in a deficit and USC & Michigan already telling the rest of the conference to slow their roll with the private equity deal, I wouldn't be surprised to see more turmoil in their future.

While I'd prefer the SEC, I do think hosting teams like:
OSU, Mich, USC, Penn st, and Neb will fill seats.

My preference would be the B1G for the school overall - academic research + athletics and national footprint. The visiting teams have some good potential to fill seats as well, and some fun locations for those that travel or like a good away game now and then. (*Much of the same can be said about new teams from either conference, so not really a hill to die on team by team)
