3 teams you would kick out of the B10?

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Saw this question posed on another Hawkeye website, so I figured I'd bring it here.

I would say aside from the incoming Pac 12 teams who really do not belong in the B10 already, but are here because of the bastardization of the sport...........who ELSE would you kick out of the B10 if you, the Iowa fan, had the power to do so????




IMHO, I would tell Ohio State, Michigan and Purdue to get the f*** out. Or more appropriately:

The rest can stay, because those remaining teams losing to us is just too much fun annually to pass up on.

 

[93hawkeye]

That's in interesting take. Seems like if you want your conference to enjoy national attention, respect, clout and money, tO$U and Mich must stay.

 

[ButtersHawk]

Maryland, Rutgers and Northwestern

 

[bawlmerhawk]

Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa. All the "I" schools

 

[Lindemann]

Lil' Debbie, Rutgers and Nebraska. Yes, Nebby is so lame I'd boot them twice.

 

[BubsFinn]

Maryland, Rutgers, Penn State.

Maryland because it's a lacrosse school.
Rutgers because it has a weak athletic department and it's New Jersey. Gross.
Penn State because they should have been kicked out after the whole Sandusky fiasco. The NCAA should have kicked them out as well. Let them see if they can fill their stadium against NAIA teams like Goshen College and Dordt.

 

[Terrykohawk]

Nebraska, Rutgers, and Penn State. Two programs that are too arrogant and have unreasonable fan bases. Rutgers because, simply, who cares.

Nebraska Rutgers and Maryland. Just go back to semi-original Big Ten before the invention of conference tv networks. Say what you want about Pederast U but they at least field a football team and came in as one of the few remaining independents...

I would also argue that while Penn State could've always done more to build up east coast football, outside of Notre Dame, they were probably the best team the B10 could've added at the time as far as fit for the conference.

Maryland, Rutgers, Nebraska; but force University of Chicago to rejoin.

 

[hawkedoff]

None.

oh and nebraska, ped st and rutgers (sorry, mrs. screw)

 

[BonzoFury]

Two are obvious. Maryland and Rutgers.

[Hawkfan_08]

Nebraska, Rutgers (even if I actually don't hate them), Penn St.

 

[LukaDuka]

Keep Nebraska, i love when Iowa beats their whiny asses & keeps them from bowling. Penn St., UM & OSU get my votes for arrogance and cheating.

 

[herkhatescy]

Rutgers, Maryland and Indiana.

If we kick out Rutgers, can we have the BB recruiting class they signed this year!

Yep.

Let them grovel at the feet of the SEC for their money and the condescending pricks down south just laugh at them behind their backs as they welcome them in.

Rutgers

Psu - should have been booted after Joe and the school covered up child rape.

 

[2D_]

Little debbie, because they're so poverty they bring down the conference. They belong in the garbage Big 12.
Maryland, same reason as little debbie
Either Rutgers or Northwestern, kind of split on the two

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

Wisconsin- because they’re fat cheeseheads

 

[joelbc1]

Maryland, Rutgers and Northwestern

Phuquin’ NW is a charter member, methinks…you don’t phuque with the mainstays…and then you understand we are where we are because it isn’t 1960 any more, either.

 

[Tenacious E]

Maryland, Rutgers and Northwestern

This is the correct answer.

 

[nu2u]

Rutgers appears to be a popular choice but I believe Greg Schiano is slowly building a solid football program which will be capable of competing at the upper level of the B10 very soon

They are already a strong MBB program and WBB has had historical success.

Solid academics also (people tend to forget or discount the Big Ten Academic Alliance). They belong IMO.

 

[pistachio1999]

Nebraska, Nebraska and Nebraska.

 

[millah_22]

if OSU and UM go, then B1G is just a worse off Big 12.

 

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

Nebraska, Nebraska and Nebraska.

That's a good start, but it should be five teams, the ones you noted and Nebraska and Nebraska.

 

[IACub]

Maryland, Rutgers, then invite Iowa State to join just to kick them out.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

Nebber really sucks at all sports.

And life.

Yes!

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

What do The Rodents bring to the table? You can’t say the MSP area because even they don’t care about them.
But Nebraska is the first choice. AAU even says so.

 

[BonzoFury]

Dude, that made my day!

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

First, Michigan state. Seems like they are always cheating or in trouble for something in both football and basketball. I have no idea how izzo is still coaching.

Second, Northwestern. They suck at all sports, the football field is like a high school stadium and one school from Illinois is plenty. I’ll keep Illinois over northwestern because they at least have a basketball team and bring some fiery fans.

Third could be a toss up between Maryland and Indiana. Maryland was competitive in the ACC, what the heck happened after the move. Don’t know much about the fan base as they are to far away.
Indiana always sucks in football and hasn’t done much for basketball as of late. Yet it seems like we hear about the basketball program way too much. Especially if they have a halfway decent season. For Indiana being a basketball state, they sure have shit the bed.

An easy victory. Same reason I wouldn’t vote Nebraska out.

Oregon, Washington, USC and UCLA

 

[mro1978]

maryland because of these eye-hemorrhaging unis

rurtgers, not that I have anything against them they were just added to get the NY market and nothing else
Nebraska, go back to the big 12 because you're stinking up the big 10

Nebraska ended up number 22 in the directors cup this year.
