Current B1G schools' line is 18 FF 2 NC 10-16, but point well taken.

Yeah wasn't sure whether to count Maryland or not.

You don't get to count Maryland much like the Big East didn't get to count Louisville's championship. Different conference.
To make @Brochacho 's point even more stark: Since 1990, the B1G has (as a whole conference) 3 fewer titles and only 2 more wins:
Since 1990:
UConn: 5 FF 4 NC 8-1 record
B1G: 20 FF 1 NC 10-19 record

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get into a P5 conference.
Unfortunately, it's all about football. Basketball doesn't mean nearly as much, or UConn would already be in a better conference.
B1G doesn't need UConn in football. They have the defending National Champs.

I disagree.
The B1G is NOW about full programming & international Brand. And that is primarily Football today. But, it's also about Entertainment dollars. And, it's also about promoting a bunch of LandGrant State U's internationally. And Research to bring in the big dollars. And rising above the Platform of lots of other "Publics". The B1G Network means a lot in the Constant Branding as this moves forward on a International scaling.
And, that does include their reach into Hockey. And Hoop. Guess what ... UConn WBB play into that as well. If you can spread programming & you can advance to farther reaches of New England to make the Shanghai top 100 along with the USN&WR top ranks, the B1G needs to be FAR beyond Football.
Maybe the others (ACC and B12 - for instance) are in the game of expanding their revenue model. The B1G is reaching for far more.
