Do you think the Big Ten added schools like UCLA, Maryland, and Rutgers because of football?
I suspect UCLA was a package deal if they wanted USC. So the Trojans wouldn't have to play both ND and UCLA OOC every year.

My question is why the Big 10?
FSU had their chance to join the SEC in 1992. Bowden was quoted somewhere as saying something like they couldn't handle a schedule as tough as the SEC's week-in and week-out, and they joined the ACC instead.
Basically, I interpret that statement to be that they are cowards and shouldn't be given another opportunity to join.

They'll join the B10 over the SEC for the same reason they joined the ACC over the SEC. The only difference now is Bobby Bowden isn't alive to say the quiet part out loud.

There's a reason that every school we've added was an AAU member. Nebraska getting kicked out and being at the bottom of the conference academically has some of them worried as the conference continues to expand.

Yes, Florida State fans care about academics. I'm not talking about t-shirt fans in the trailer parks who have no input on anything.

I know AAU membership is important (and basically a requirement when Delaney was commish) but you don't think FSU would've been invited if not for the stupid ACC GOR?

Why not dude? We are posting on a LSU forum and probably 80% of people that own in that place are from Louisiana.
Posted on 12/7/23 at 10:54 pm to GoGators1995
No. I think they would've been invited, and I think they'd easily be voted in if they joined the Big Ten.
OP might not know what any of that means, but the folks making decisions at Florida State do.

I do think it's funny that USF got AAU membership before FSU.

Absolutely.
Florida State didn't think it was very funny.

FSU is a much better school now than they were before joining the ACC but I think it has more to do with the Bright Futures program for FL public schools than it does being in the ACC.

True. Missouri and Kentucky were slave states that remained in the Union. Oklahoma is culturally a Southern State. I don't see how the SEC expands beyond the confederacy, slave states, and Oklahoma.
Both Missouri and Kentucky had entire regions of their states vote to leave the Union and each had delegations that attempted to represent their respective states in the Confederate congress (the Confederate national flag even included stars on it representing both of those states). Oklahoma, though still an unorganized territory and not yet a state, is considered by historians as having effectively allied itself with the Confederacy as much as any "unorganized territory" could possibly do.
So, yes, all states represented by the current and future SEC members are technically former Confederate states, leaving only the former Confederate states of North Carolina and Virginia unrepresented within the conference.

I stole it from someone on Twitter. "I need to speak to the College Football Playoff manager. RIGHT. NOW."

Great selling point you got there!
Come to the big ten where our AAU lobby is so strong that Nebraska got kicked out near immediately after joining!
Also. Once again. If academics is such a priority you left out the two best institutions in Stanford and Cal. So you want to act all noble but in reality it’s all football money.
Typical big ten. Pretend to be the bastion of morality but have widespread sexual predators and cheating.

Apparently there were multiple B10 schools who voted to kick Nebraska out too. That's cold.

We essentially grounded them until they get their grades up.
They've been working at it, and will likely be back soon. Or, we'll replace them with someone like Florida State...

And because they weren't kicked out a year earlier now the SEC is stuck with Mizzou.
