Been bad for years. People are just waking up and finally accepting it.

Re: How did the big-10 get so bad?

The game changed and passed us by. We got all these big oafs for off weather conditions and the spread has left us in the dust.


last conference in the nation to adopt the spread. And it shows, big time.

years? meaning how long? can't wait to hear this answer.

Re: How did the big-10 get so bad?

The schools are too big and have too much money to be down forever. College ball is cyclical, they will probably be back in the next 5 years.

I think the conference as a whole has been extremely overrated in football and basketball for at least 10 years.

Talent comes from Florida, Texas, and Cali. Nothing left for those midwest schools. All the cream of the crop have been spoken for already. Amazing what Penn St. has done.

why would i mention the good team when im talking about the down teams.

Re: How did the big-10 get so bad?

Penn State is the class of the league this year, I wonder if they would be .500 in the Big 12 or SEC. We'll never know, but I couldn't see them winning any road games.

Wonder if they'd be .500. OMG are you kidding? What is wrong with some of you people. PSU stunk last year and beat Tenn who wasn't horrible in the SEC last year and the SEC was better last year.

PSU's offense is dynamite. Tough to continue to argue with outlandish comments like this.

Also how have they been down for 10 years? Are you on drugs? Michigan State was the best college basketball program, arguably, for an extended period of time. Illinois was a very good program under Self. Indiana was a very good program and you think they are overrated in basketball? HAHAHA. In football OSU has 2 national titles in the last 10 years and outside of the last two years they've been dynamite in football.

Crean's an asshole and a traitor :finger004. I'm a big Marquette fan and he's an absolute idiot. He left a school with all his seniors still attending and a chance at a National Title to go somewhere that he'd be lucky to win 10 games this year. Crean can kiss my ass.

Look up NCAA tourney wins the last 10 years by conference.

Re: How did the big-10 get so bad?

Big Ten is the best all sround major sports conference... by far best at basketball year in and year out. Football is on a small decline right now but it will be back there is no doubt about that. Rich Rodriguez will have Michigan as a powerhouse once he gets another year of his recruits coming in. Illini are on the rise with Zook's recruiting

the big ten bites the big one. the big ten gets trashed by the acc in hoops every single year. not some years, every year.

You really shouldn't post if you are going to make yourself look this bad. The only Little 11 team Tennessee played last year was Wisconsin and Tennessee gave the Badgerettes a physical beating for 60 minutes.

And as far as basketball, no major conference has had as many first and second round losers as the Big Ten in the last 10 years. They usually do have one good team that makes it far in the tournament but also have three of four that didn't even deserve to be in the tournament and get bounced on their ass early, hence the overrated part.

watch out purdue basketball...they might be legit this year...

michigan lost their swagger and wont be a powerhouse in the next three years

zook's cheating = ill rise

big east basketball > big 10 basketball

i watch the big-10/acc challenge every year.

The way the Little 11 is declining, this will become the Little 11/MAC challenge once the current deal expires. You have already seen the SEC take over their spots on ESPN starting next year.

The final score and late yardage gained by Wisconsin skewed the final box score. Tennessee pushed Wisky around like a bunch of sissies. I guess you didn't watch the game.

Sorry, I must be getting old. Two years ago a mediocre PSU team beat Tennessee.
