I doubt the B1G ever matches the SEC in the number of quality teams.
Teams like Michigan State, Iowa and Nebraska have the resources to be top 15-35 teams consistently. They just haven’t put it together in the NIL era.
I don’t think UCLA, Rutgers, Purdue, Minnesota, etc have the institutional or booster investment to break out of the 40-75 range and because the B10 has an anchor at the bottom while Kentucky, MS St and even Vanderbilt have shown they have and will spend to break into the 25-50 range I agree.
Hell look at Kentucky. They were borderline bad last year but hired a new coach and portaled in an entire new team and have a path to 8 wins next year IMO. There just aren’t any “easy” games in the SEC even if there aren’t any “impossible” games like Bama v Arkansas would’ve been 5 years ago because the top teams don’t have the same depth and talent discrepancy anymore.

Why aren't we going for a super conference that put in teams that will be willing to spend money for top to medium recruits from HS and the transfer portal yearly?

The end game is obviously an AFC (B10) v NFC (SEC) scenario where any high rating teams from the ACC/B12 get pulled up and the remaining teams left out become a lower division of football with their own separate playoff.
I’d be nervous at that point for teams like Rutgers, Minnesota and Mississippi State who don’t have the resources or ratings to compete.
