re: Barry Alvarez: Big 10 expanded because we didn't want to lose Penn State to ACC

OSU is not the norm though. We have the most varsity sports of any university in the country I think, by a large amount. I think most Big10 schools are in the 20ish range, which seems like the norm.
I'll continue to say the worst thing about the Big10 is the equal revenue sharing. Indiana collects the same check that OSU does so where is the motivation to field a winning football team.

I think Stanford has more varsity sports. Ohio State is way up there though.

you're crazy.
equal revenue sharing is a GOOD thing.
Your conference is only as strong as your weakest link so its better to try and elevate everyone than it is to leave them behind to rot.

But they still have a lot more than LSU which has 16.

The SEC has the same problem with Vanderbilt but at least Indiana does some of the Big Ten's heavy lifting in men's basketball.

I disagree with that - the revenue that is shared is only a small percentage of the total take for the athletic departments... but it makes a very big difference for the smaller schools which your bigger schools should want to keep viable (if not competitive)
You don't want to become Texas and steal nickels and dimes from your conference mates when you are making two or three times the total revenue they make anyway. That's penny wise and pound foolish.
