Never should have created these extremely unbalanced football divisions. I’m assuming he was somewhat responsible for that.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Alford Bailey Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Lets move the Big Ten to New York because it geographically makes sense..... Quote

LamarCheeks Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I know growth is supposed to be good, etc., and I'm admittedly too much of a traditionalist, but I really, really, really hate that Rutgers and Maryland are in our conference. ... I'm not crazy about Nebraska, either, but it's definitely more of a geographical fit. Deserthoozier, HoosierTrav, cthomas and 2 others 5 Quote

I’m all for strengthening the conference. Rutgers and Maryland were clearly money moves. Quote
HoosierAloha Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I’d love to see the tackle taken out of Big Ten tackle basketball like it was supposed to have been 5 years ago. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners yogisballin, lillurk, Deserthoozier and 4 others 7 Quote

Bobman1 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I remember at one point I remember hearing multiple rumors that North Carolina was a possibility. I’m all for strengthening the conference. Rutgers and Maryland were clearly money moves. To that point, I don’t mind Maryland due to the fact that they’ve been somewhat successful in multiple sports but yeah Rutgers sucks.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners lillurk and HoosierTrav 2 Quote

Old Friend Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 I don't like Rutgers in the Big Ten. I don't have a problem with any of the other teams. I hated the BTT in NYC last season. Stupid. And the football divisions are a joke....Indiana, Rutgers, and Maryland have the toughest climb in college sports and it's not close. But....aside from those things Jim Delany was an incredible commissioner; and the Big Ten is WWWWWWAAAAYYYY more financially well off than it was when he took the position.

There isn’t enough talent in the Midwest to compete without getting kids from jersey and the dmv. Plus the TV markets give all members $$$$. That money, could be used to pay for facilities and help in the arms race. Josh 1 Quote

Michigan got screwed by having both rivals either home or away the same year when they realigned. Michigan fans aren’t happy about that. Saying it’s Michigan’s fault is not accurate. Michigan fans hate Delaney as much as the rest of the conference fans. Quote
