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.

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

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.

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.
