The irony here is that he (Tobias/sjmvs...) is posting this stuff from the campus of THE Ohio State University, where he's receiving one of the finest educations available in this great country of ours.

I made a ton of super conferences in NCAA Football 13(I know it's a video game) but I have years where there are no one loss teams even except for me of course
LOL at this.

People claim the rest of the B1G sucks outside of UM and OSU

B1G adds schools to make the rest of the conference stronger

Same people make fun of the B1G for making the rest of it's conference stronger

Rumor milll has it that there will be push for 16-team superconferences soon.....early talks have UVA and UNC rounding out the B1G. Again, rumors only but the day of the big conferences may be here

While the ACC is at it, I'd love to see Florida State and Clemson join the SEC. Put Missouri back in the SEC West, Florida State and Clemson in the East.

I thought all they did was double it from 5M to 10M (which is a lot, but isn't shit compared to the ACC)


Here's an article about them looking at going back, since the new playoff demotes the Big East to MWC status.

Why wouldn't Boise go PAC 12 route?

The flip side is the B1G just extended an invite to a mid-level program from that "shithole" ACC that you speak of.

The Big East and ACC take a beating on here and elsewhere (it is warranted) and the B1G just invited teams from each. Both accepted. Rutgers is a decent football acquisition (I'm sure it was more about their market though), Maryland a decent hoops one. The B1G coulda done worse but also coulda done a lot better.

Because they won't get invited to the PAC 12 ever?

Damn it, I was hoping Maryland was going to get added to the Legends Division, so that we could keep the M,N Iowa thing going. Incase you haven't noticed, All of the M and N schools are in the Legends +Iowa. Now, it's going to be a cluster fuck trying to keep everything straight.

Utah and Colorado disagree. Any talks of no intentions to expand should be taken with a grain of salt.

If you hadn't noticed by the B1G's expansion, on the field means very little. I also don't think Boise is much better than a junior college academically. That isn't helping their case at all.

Boise is currently trying to decide between the Big East and the Mountain West. They understand where they stand.

With the addition of Maryland and Rutgers, the B1G will have 4 of the top 17 LOSINGest programs in college football.
