There is a palpable spirit of "the NFL-ization of college football is an inevitability, let's just get it over with" in the current round of chatter.
Can someone explain to me why Illinois would vote for that? Why Purdue would vote for that? Why Maryland would vote for that?
A big part of the sell to these schools in the first place of all this ridiculous expansion was strengthening us against the national scene because of the financial and visibility dominance of the Big Ten. But now instead we're inviting the national scene into the tent, giving our football teams less access to the scarce resource of national broadcast TV slots, and LOSING money?
What do we, the constituents of the Big Ten Conference, get out of this?
Less visibility less money is a bad deal, vote no.
(For the record, I remain very sure no invite will actually happen. Largely for the above reasons. Dilution dilution dilution. The question of what the most valuable group per-team is was already painstakingly researched and decided, this is a settled question.)
