Is Ohio State to blame at all?

I know the driving force behind the expansion is the TV deal, but does the fact that Ohio State and the rest of the Big Ten have sucked in big games recently play a part in the Big Ten (and then the rest of the conferences) wanting to expand and get some better teams to try and change that reputation?

The motivation behind expansion is to get the Big Ten Network on as many tvs in America as they can. Not even the Ivy League schools have a network to advertise their institutions. The Big Ten and its member institutions have a chance to solidify themselves as the premiere public institutions in the country. While college football brings in millions a year, academics have the potential for billions a year. Michigan brought in $5 billion last year. During the school year they rake in almost $20 million a day.
The funds from sports look like a lemonade stand compared to what the Big Ten has a chance to do in academics.
