I'm sorry but home games with Rutgers, UConn, Louisville and UC just isn't going to consistently sell tickets or draw recruits. If ND ever loses the NBC contract the Big10 is their best choice financially. Put Ohio State with The School Up North in one division & Penn State with ND in the other. That gives you a yearly Penn State/ND matchup to pair with The Game, with the winners very likely to be playing the next week in a conference championship game. THAT would generate interest...and revenue.  Penn State has been a great addition to the Big10. While the football teams haven't been up to their traditional standars, they are very competitve across the board athletically. They have been consistently near the top of the rankings in the Sears Director Cup. Penn State is also another large research oriented land grant University & brings a lot to the table as an academic institution.  No way would I want Penn State to leave the conference.</blockquote>
