It occurred to me that the in-state program down south has found a winning formula by bringing in a new HC, who also brought a dozen players from football 'powerhouse' James Madison. That is bad news for the strength of the conference, IMO. It should not happen. This is not sour grapes. Its an indication of a historically weak (traditional teams) Big Ten. Can you just imagine Mississippi State replicating that in the SEC, bringing in a new HC, being 8-0, and using a dozen new players from, say Appalachian State? As someone said on this board, IU "needs to take advantage of this once in a lifetime schedule opportunity".
