Thanks, RB07OSU! Couldn't agree more! As much as I hate losing anytime to tsun or last year to Ill, would rather have him go to a Big10 school and compete against us if not for us. I was shocked that Je'Ron commited to TN, and so early...but then I don't know all the circumstances.
To support 7's point, I talk w/ biz execs all over the country every day, most of which are fans, most of which, because of the internet, are up-to-date knowledgeable. Consensus is that B10 is dying. They absolutely dread the possibility of Bucks getting another shot at NC, not just this year, but possibly next 3-4 years now that we have TP.
The media helps fuel this because they annually jump on the Big10-is-down bandwagon early in the season and sustain throughout. But in the end, or after bowl season, only the SEC seems to consistently stand out, the rest being more or less even. But we have to take the brunt...I'm sick of it!!!!
