Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

And it’s not just about academic standards.

The most unique distinction between B1G schools and the rest of FBS is the quality of the Engineering departments in the B1G. The B1G dominates engineering the way they dominate women’s volleyball… maybe even more so

FSU’s engineering department is uniquely bad. In an odd arrangement borne of politics, the engineering department is actually shared with a local lower-division school. While some think that this shared-arrangement is a limiting factor and others contend that the politics behind that arrangement are the real problem; the sad result regardless of cause is that the engineering college at FSU is a laughing stock

Yeah the shared FAMU-FSU engineering college is weird.

Give me FSU over AAU member Miami any day.

Another unstated rule is being a flagship public.
Northwestern is the only private, and i dont see us adding another unless it's the likes of John Hopkins or Duke.

USC is private and not part of the California State University system.

And John’s Hopkins is already a league member for lacrosse which is their only D1 sport.

It think they'd go after GT before Duke

Power Rank Engineering/Technical Schools.

Purdue vs. Tech - who ya got?

All they need now is an invitation from the B1G and $120 million to pay off the ACC.

And about a quarter century worth of academic improvements overnight.

The US News & World Report rankings have long been well respected by many, and they can’t really find much difference between the two, with Purdue at #4 and GT tied with Carnegie Mellon at #5

What says the most about the B1G to me, is that Ohio State and Wisconsin, while tied at a very respectable #27, represent the exact middle of the B1G, with half of the remaining conference members ranking higher than that

EDIT:

Feel free to remind the pretentious pedophile enabling pus-bags that they are in the bottom half, next time you meet one of them

They are ranked well ahead of the FSU-FAMU school of engineering though, which is #92. That’s better than Nebraska though, so they’ve got that going for them

This is one of the dumbest CFB Twitter accounts around. He also believes FSU to B1G is a done deal and they alone would bring 100-million in revenue.

Makes sense to me. Dragging every other sport along for the ride when you're only moving because of football...there has to be a better way.

Fair. I always forget they're private, but id put them in same tier as the others mentioned.
FSU and Clemson can't touch them.

 

[kujirakira]

... which is exactly why i mentioned them; they haven't joined CIC.
APL is also a special situation. They're attached to the University but separate.

Good article on the future of the new teams in the B1G:

the future of the new teams in the B1G:

I'm confused. I don't see anything about FSU?

I'm confused. I don't see anything about FSU?

They’re joining Oberlin’s conference.

 

[Tomateaux Quinoa Gumbeaux]

They’re joining Oberlin’s conference.

Isn't Oberlin where Lena Dunham went?

Spoiler: hot babe!! too hot
