It has nothing to do with the weather. There isn’t one legitimate reason to travel north to play. The recruiting in the north is trash, weather is trash, cities are trash, and there is a football school every 75 miles here to choose from.
I give you the only reason that matters and that is money. A B1G vs SEC game would be big ratings and more money. The SEC's fear of the north is causing them to leave money on the table.
The home team's media partner owns the broadcasting rights and would greatly increase the values of the next TV contracts.

Again, there is no advantage for an SEC school to play up north. The reason you schedule other power schools is to advertise your program in a particular region. This is why the chic-filet kickoff game is a popular destination for a non-con. It’s why Georgia has scheduled a home and home with UCLA this decade, as well as Texas and Oklahoma before they joined the SEC. We don’t need money from the Big Ten, but the Big Ten needs recruits from the south because they don’t have any.

I will say that the one thing the Big Ten and the SEC have in common is the TV markets, but even those don’t matter as much now with streaming and national broadcast. It’s more about the appeal and popularity of a particular program. I mean hardly anyone lives in Alabama, but they have a national following.

The Tide has been playing at Penn State since the early 80's. Try educating yourself before making such DA comments.
