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

One of the biggest disadvantages of the Big Ten versus the SEC is that the athletic departments have so many more sports to support. For example, Ohio State has more than twice as many sports as LSU. Because of this, SEC schools don't have to spread their resources as thin as Big Ten schools, and can dominate, or at least be very competitive in the minor sports they do have (eg. track, baseball, softball, swimming, women's basketball, gymnastics, etc.).

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.
