Keep it under 20

I for one feel the Big Ten (11? 12?) should not add anymore teams. The Big Ten is a traditional conference, the oldest collegiate conference in America and it should do everything it can to maintain this classy status. We are not the "Summit League", we have a tradition dating back to the 19th century and are the winningest conference (in football) of all time. Lets not dilute our traditions by sprawling our family over the entire continental United States
Growing up, the Big Ten conference always meant Midwest. The U of M-Ohio State game is as much of our cultural fabric as corn, flat terrain, Lutheranism and a good work ethic. To suggest that a school (and with all due respect to the Scarlet Knights, as they are a great institution) like Rutgers would be worthy to join our ranks is downright absurd. Road games to New Jersey? Get out of here. Maybe after the game we can party with Snooki and go fission fishing in a nuclear waste dump.
Please, lets keep our conference a tight-knit family, with long established rivalries and game day traditions. We are not the Sunbelt, and therefore don't add sub-par teams whenever we need to increase our attendance. Remember, we have the Big House.

GO BLUE!
