Big 10: the Big 10 was known for schools with great academics , now? Not so much. But again, way more market share and revenue coming in. Big 10 sold their academic soul for sports $$$ (not that that's a bad thing, just saying ).


Huh? Ok, maybe Nebraska since they were dropped from AAU status shortly after joining the BIG. Maryland and Rutgers are top notch AAU research schools. If anything the BIG added some academic powerhouses.

Yeah, Nebraska is the only junk school in the BIG10.

They're the Oregon State of the Big10

Stanford
Cal
USC
UCLA

Are all top 25...

Oregon State is 143, Nebraska is 111.
