Adding Nebraska wasn't terrible, but adding Maryland and Rutgers was atrocious.

The Big 10 should have added Mizzou and Notre Dame, or Iowa State or West Virginia.

Only some idiot bean counter would believe that adding Maryland or Rutgers would be better for the conference just because those states have large populations. Why does that matter when their fanbases are only a small subset of those populations?

Maryland is up and coming.

They'll be top 25 next year.

in case you didn't know, ND doesn't want to join the big 10 in FB, let alone any conference. they're fiercely independent. they've been invited formally and informally, and they've refused multiple times

second, what do you mean by better for the conference? maryland and rutgers were added due to their populations as well as their fertile recruiting grounds. not only has the value of the conference increased due to the NY/NJ and DC areas, the big name teams in the conference now have greater access to those areas with regards to recruiting

on the contrary, what would adding WV or iowa state add in terms of $$$ or recruiting?

It will never happen, and quite frankly, it should never happen.
