[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 693590, member: 4572"] All that extra money sure has helped Maryland, Rutgers, and Nebraska become relevant nationally huh? Nebraska has been in the BIG for 9 years. They’ve won 10 games once, and won their division once. The last 9 years they were in their traditional Big 12/8, they won 10 games 3 games, and won their division or a share of it 4 times. Maryland left the ACC 6 seasons ago. They’ve had 1 winning season in the BIG. Their last 6 years in the ACC they had 3 winning seasons, including one of 9 wins. Rutgers left the Big East/American in 2014. They’ve had 1 winning season in the B1G, and over their 6 seasons they are 21-52. Their last 6 years in the Big East/American they had 2 losing records (one of them was 6-7 after losing a bowl game), went to 5 bowls, and won 9 games 3 times. Missouri has stayed largely average to mediocre since joining the SEC, with a couple of great years mixed in, just like when they were in the Big 12/8. Texas A&M has gotten slightly better since they made the jump to the SEC, but nothing eye popping. So yeah, all the extra money those programs are getting is negligible in providing extra wins. Losing regional rivalries, adding insane travel schedules, worse weather during road games, all for monetary gain which has shown to do little to nothing for numerous programs. Jumping to the B1G means dropping at least 1 of the annual UGA or Clemson games with their 9 game conference schedule. Lose additional rivalry games with Miami, Florida State, Virginia Tech, and Notre Dame. I’m sorry, but I don’t see the benefit of leaving the ACC in favor of the B1G. Tech would become more irrelevant regionally than it already is, to go be irrelevant in a geographic region it has no business playing the majority of its games in. Would playing Indiana and Rutgers add anymore excitement than playing Duke or Virginia? I doubt it. It would probably be even less exciting. [/QUOTE]
