Message: [QUOTE="dayooper, post: 4345611, member: 3859"] This is how I feel. I really don’t regret Nebraska, but they are just kinda there. I suppose an Iowa fan might feel different, but games against Nebraska are like games against Wisconsin or Iowa for me. Rutgers and Maryland did exactly what they were supposed to do, give the Big10 a presence. Do they do it alone? Hell no! But with the strong alumni base Michigan, OSU, PSU and Indiana have in the NYC and DC areas, they work. Put ND with those and you have a great market presence that no other football conference has. The Big East still is a big presence, but not like a football presence is. I think you are on to something with GT. I believe that the Big10 would add them before Duke and maybe even UVA. The Atlanta market with the Big10 alumni base might work. ND and, to a lesser extent, UNC are the big gets now. [/QUOTE]
