no...its about the associated TV marketsDoes not most of the Big Ten play in small college markets?
Maryland = DC
Rutgers = NY
MSU / UM = Detroit
PSU = Pittsburgh
Minny = Minneaoplis
Purdue = Indianapolis
NU / ILL = Chicago
OSU = Cleveland / C Bus
Indiana = Indianapolis
The execeptions are Iowa / Nebraska. B1G network TV distribution has always been the key driver, carriage and retransmission fees bring in the $$$ that plays the schools. The more eyeballs the more $$$
