Minnesota, Illinois, Northwestern and the other programs have been up and down for several years.
Minnesota is light years ahead of a Purdue as a football program, and you would think is much more appealing to recruits given the location and Minny's new facilities.

I disagree. While Minnesota had a lot of success in the 1940s, but have completely sucked since 1960.
Purdue is somewhat respectable. They won the conference in 2000 and have been to 9 bowl since (1 Rose, 1 Citrus). Minnesota hasn't been to the Rose or Citrus bowl since 1962
At the current moment.... maybe. But I think they can quickly be turned around. It isn't difficult by any means to be 4th best in the B1G-West.

Eh, Purdue probably has better access to talent. It's close to Michigan, ChicagoLand, and Ohio - while those three areas aren't quite what they used to be recruiting-wise, they're still good enough and deep enough that a competent program can pick off plenty of guys that don't go to OSU, UM, and ND and field a good team. Minnesota is fricking far from basically anywhere that consistently produces quality high school football talent.
Purdue was doing that fifteen years ago. Not so much any more. They've got history and money enough to make it a solid program again. I'm curious to see how Brohm will do there.
