[QUOTE="BilldGopher, post: 886877, member: 4315"] No doubt forensic and bobongo for the 2018 match-up we came ready to play. I believe Tech did too but the trajectories for both programs were at a different point for that moment. As to whether Tech would be competitive in an even more expanded B1G this can only be answered if the experiment is run. Having more $$$ can't hurt necessarily...but how it's ultimately spent is very important. My Gophers I believe are using a lot of the TV/streaming $$$ to support non-revenue sports. Not saying FB, BB, and hockey aren't getting the bulk but definitely not all of it. It's a choice. But there's no doubt having this revenue stream available makes a difference. Ideally for Tech you would in the early years not end up as a Rutgers or Maryland but would be more of a Northwestern in an expanded B1G. Northwestern is the enigma program that every few years finds the way to break through. Minnesota cannot make this claim. For NW if this continues to happen once Fitz if gone who knows, but they do find the formula once, twice, or even three times a decade that makes it worth being a Wildcat in a division that includes both OH-IO State and Meesheegaannn. They are fighters though...every year they come back and give what they've got. Have to admire it and any Big 10 fan who does not admit this is lying. If you can't tell I'm biased to Tech making this cut...whether it's the SEC, B1G, or ACC+ or whatever. Just like life, football is unfair on a number of fronts. However, if we forget where programs have come from and their histories...even if back to the 1990s for a Natty for you guys...that would be a loss. Bobby Ross was important to football. John Heisman was very important to football. For us it was a guy from northern Minnesota named Bronko Nagurski. Heck, we were where cheerleading was born... There is such a thing as legacy program no matter where they are now. That should be preserved where it can. Not sure that applies to Clemson...
