re: Tony Petitti: Big Ten wants more games with CFP implications

quote:

Part of the reason the Big 10 expanded is because it's filled with schools that aren't good at/don't care about football, and football's driving the bus.

It is not that they don't care, it is they have not used their full resources until NIL came along. B1G schools held their Athletic Departments to a higher standard than the rest of college sports did.

I'm not sure expansion was the way to arrive at more games with CFP implications, particularly West Coast expansion. It seems like a scheduling agreement would have been a more cost efficient method for achieving this goal.

Those CFP spots and money would go to the Pac and not the B1G. Why would the B1G give that away?
