Cracks in the B1G?

But you said Purdue was barely farther than KU.
KU is quite a bit closer than Purdue. Like several hours.
Oh yeah, sorry I read West Lafayette and Indiana just popped in my head.
Yeah I guess its more than barely, but as I said If in that hypothetical that ISU joined the West, Purdue would have moved to the East, and the rest are all very similar or closer than KU.
Not a chance. Purdue is our lifelong most hated conference rival. They hate us. We hate them. No way they'd have ever separated us.
Iowa would just protect that one too..... Iowas close to making their own division inside the B1G themselves with all their protected rivals.
See, the thing is, if every single conference foe is a rival, no one is.
Here's whats wrong in a nutshell:
The SEC and B1G are getting 2-3x the money and have the biggest brands. Yet joining either conference would be WORSE than staying in the Big12 in basically every other way - besides money.
It just doesn't seem like this can go on forever. Zeroth law of economics- if something can't continue forever, then eventually it will stop.
So what happens when it stops?

- Consolidation- Commander Cody Campbell Utopia via government
- Separation - Top 20 split off to a SuperLeague and rest become Division 2
- Other?
We're not. Lol. Back when we had Legends and Leaders divisions the B1G basically assigned us as "rivals" who would play a protected crossover game every year. One of the dumber things I've seen in my lifetime.
Clearly. Iowa is black and gold, and Purdue is gold and black.
(I can't tell which one is Purdue)
anyone notice that everything went wrong with the world when the Big 10 got rid of the legends and leaders
Other is stay the same, no reason why it currently can’t. Just like economics you will have winners and losers, early adopters, and periods of chaos.
Yeah, the old Big 10 West is something I would have really enjoyed, and would have loved to be a part of.
But that's not what the Big 10 is now and I'd rather be in a league with 4 other Big 8 members than go be in a league with 1 other Big 8 member and 1 other historic opponent to have to travel to both coasts and everywhere in between.
