The Ivy League offers the most academic prestige.  Beyond that, the association of academic prestige with athletic conference is a weak one.  Stanford has more academic prestige than any school in the B1G but is currently a member of the Pac 10.  Stanford's prestige will not change no matter where it lands or stays.  The same will be true for Duke, Vanderbilt, and other schools.  Likewise, it will not make any difference for a school like Texas.  They will decide based on what makes the most sense for them from an athletics standpoint.

If the B1G offers more money than the SEC, it is only a point in time view and not a longer term projection as contract renegotiations take place.

Furthermore, the B1G has tried to pick Notre Dame for years.  Notre Dame has not picked them back to date.[/quote]

I am a different poster than the one you quoted. I think that you are both right regarding academic prestige.

The Ivy League offers more academic prestige for undergraduate study, while the Big Ten universities are research powerhouses. [/quote]
