Just another step in the Grand Plan: four super-conferences of 16 teams each with a conference championship game and a playoff of those conference champions for the national title. I'm tellin' ya, it's comin'.
Personally, I think it stinks. Gone is the Midwest flavor of the conference. I will still watch the Big 10, but allowing Penn State to join was the first step in what has become an open gate conference. Allowing East coast teams will diminish my interest. Give me the Mid Con from now on.
