Message: [QUOTE="baggerbob, post: 542827, member: 164"] There was a big difference in the Big 10's first 2 expansions, and this last one. Penn State addition was a well thought out business decision, bringing in a strong school with great football tradition. The next expansion followed the same pattern a well planned thought out business decision, Nebraska strong school with a great football tradition. The last expansion seems to be more of a reflexive action over the ACC making moves that caught them off guard. The ACC took Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame schools which fit in their football footprint. They took 2 schools with no big tradition, and failing athletic departments that they are going to have to bolster. [/QUOTE]
