[QUOTE="illinoisportsfan, post: 1230869, member: 3733"] It amazes me how you can continually try to sell this drivel while being proven wrong over and over. I'm just as bored with it as you are and I don't have to type out the long posts every day. :) Any conference containing Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Illinois, etc. will always be at or near the top when it comes to producing athletics revenue. Delaney has made some great financial decisions for the conference, but the bottom line is that the B1G is made up of large flagship universities in populous states with huge alumni bases. They will never become irrelevant as long as college athletics are relevant. That is not fluid. Because of the inherent geographic advantages of the SEC, they will probably never overtake them again when it comes to football performance, but they are certainly going to keep trying. [/QUOTE]
