What's this?

Big Ten gained the world, but lost its soul under Delany


Wow. They are still blasting the Rutgers addition in the Ohio media. This one from Toledo.

Also a good comment from Gene Smith of Ohio State:“Here’s one thing that people seem to forget about our move with Rutgers and Maryland. At the time, the ACC was looking to expand. Part of our move was to protect Penn State. Everyone forgets we had a teammate and partner institution that was on a [geographic] island, so what we did, beyond gaining exposure, is we further brought in a valued partner in Penn State. Had Penn State defected to the ACC, what would the conversation have been then?”

In reality, I'm not sure the heritage Big Ten fans care that much about Penn State really. They are to this day an outsider in the league.
