The Big 10 = 14 is happy to cash those checks from DC and NYC metro cable subscribers who are forced fed the Big 10 = 14 network. Everyone knew the admittance of those 2 programs with zero football tradition was a pure money grab.
I know...but if the Big 10(14) went for UConn it would have brought in the best WBB school, a great hockey program (for the Big Ten hockey), a good basketball school, a great baseball school and a football school that just became FBS 14 years ago...
