re: Where do you see the Big10 headed?

I don't think the Big 10 is as bad as their national perception. I think recent faceplants on the biggest stage by OSU (sorry 
) have really hurt the conference reputation overall. I remember Wisconsin giving a few SEC teams all they could handle in bowl games...as did a motivated Michigan team.
I also think that part of the Big 10 backlash is directly related to the obnoxiousness of Kirk Herbstreit and ESPN during the 2006 season. A countdown for OSU/Michigan? Really? You couldn't even turn on ESPN that year without seeing Herbie claiming the Big 10 was the best in the land, "led by Ohio State and Michigan." It got tiresome.
