    Why the hell decide to change it now? The Big Ten has been a giant conference in all of college football history and now they want to have it change to more schools.

    Depends who they're adding...if they're gonna add 2 random bad teams for the sake of filling out the conference it's a bad idea. But if they can take a program on the rise and add it to their conference then it might actually be a good idea. Idk.

    I think it ruins the prestiege of the conference, regardless who they add. We have some bad teams, and we have some of the best teams. All conferences are like that.

    But if you can lure a Top team or a team currently on the rise to your program it makes the quality of the conference that much better. I'm not sure who they could target....Notre Dame is in that area, but I don't see them ever joining a conference. Maybe try and pick off a couple schools from the MAC, but then you're not really actually improving the conference. Although I'd love to see Dan LeFevour go against most of the Defenses in the Big 10.
