[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeez I must be completely ignorant of colleges. What is BIG 10?  Is this in reference to athletics or some kind of education or research consortium?[/quote]

Hah!  The Big 10 is a college football conference, but not the best one.  It's all about football. All the other sports and the academics are just along for the ride.[/quote]

That's funny.  The big ten makes up more than 25% of all the research dollars spent at the university level.  They have the biggest stadiums because people care about the flagship state university.

The ACC is the conference that's obsessed with sports UNC gives out diplomas to illiterates so they can play football.  The conference brings in Louisville community college to help football.  The BIG 10 would never tolerate or consider anything close .  That's why football has suffered in the Big 10. Too focused on actually making players stay eligible .  The ACC football players would get crushed by the Big 10 players on an SAT test .[/quote]
