I fail to see the significance of the big 10 doing wnat every conference would have done.

File it under "If you're not cheating, you're not trying" I suppose.

First, they didn't want to play at all. Then, when other conferences were doing well with games, they set up a stupid system to qualify for their own conference championship. Then, despite having two teams that DID qualify for their championship, they switched it so that OSU - who did not previously qualify because it failed to satisfy the requirements of the system they themselves imposed - suddenly did.

I would not have much of a problem with it if no teams had had sufficient games to qualify for the Big 10 championship game and OSU and one other had been picked to play based on best record out of what was played. But when teams did qualify, and OSU did not, to change to rules to put OSU in is bullshite.

But then institutional integrity always gives way to the dollars, doesn't it? Fraud just isn't a good business model.
