Any argument supporting the Big Ten West vs the Big Ten East is delusionary. I didn't cherry pick inter divisional play. You go pick out the Wests top wins. Pointing out the OSU Wisconsin game could hardly be called cherry picking since it was The Big 10 Championship Game. To make matters worse Michigan lands Jim Harbaugh and has a recruiting guru in Franklin at Penn State. In the meantime the bell weather programs in the West land coaching legends Mike Riley and Paul Chrystal. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Barta ant Ferenz should kiss the ground that their in the West and believe me they know it. How they sell season tickets to last years and this years garbage schedule is a miracle.

qick OP complain to the BT Commissioner that you demand that IA should be put in the EAST just so you can be happy,
then you can piss and moan about IA GOING 2-6 like PSU did in 2014. give Franklin another season or 2 like this and he to will be fired, Delany did not do the coaches in the East any favors, as there will now be more coaching changes in the East because those fans demand better results than 2-6 and 6-6 regular season records..
careful what you demand or wish for. it can and usually does get worse, sometimes far worse than what it is or was in your mind.

no that got lifted and these were these were their recruiting classes the last 4 years and the limit was 65 not 50'
2011 rated 35 5 4* 8 3* and 3 2*'s in a class of 16 even though they were supposed to be limited to 15 scholarships
2012 rated 51st 2 4* 11 3* and 6 2* in a class of 19 again the stipulation was they were to sign ONLY 15
2013 rated 43rd 1 5* 3 4* 8 3* and 5 2* recruits in a class of 17
2014 rated 24th 6 4* 18 3* and 1 2* in a class of 25
2015 rated 13th 11 4* and 14 3* in a class of 25
if Franklin does not win in the next 2 seasons he will be on a very hot seat and his QB is a 5* and will be a RSSO this year, so much for that 4 year probation and limit on scholarships

If you don't think psu was not at a disadvantage please read the linked article how it affected them and usc how it affects their programs. Hurts depth big time take in account transfers injuries etc on top of that.
2nd his QB hackenberg will be a true JR next year. As for scholarships and probation I'll take one out of your book, if you have a problem with it why don't you call up the NCAA and let them know about it.

Tom Osborne had never been a head coach before, until Nebraska, and is now in the HOF.
Bob Devaney came from Wyoming and no one had ever heard of him before and is now in the HOF.
Frank Solich had never been a head coach before and was fired after averaging 9+ wins a year.
Bo Pelini had never been a head coach before and was fired after averaging 9+ wins a year.
Bill Callahan was the most well known coach Nebraska has landed in the last 60 years, after being a head coach in the Super Bowl a few years prior. He was the worst head coach at Nebraska in a generation.
^^^^ In that time, no one in CFB has won more games. Not one of them were considered "legends" or anything even close when they came/started as a head coach.
There are only so many Nick Saban and Urban Meyer's of the world. Sure things. Hell, Bo Pelini was in the Top 3 of the B1G in wins since conference realignment.....and he wasn't even good and is now at YSU. lol
Haha, Heat Dawg doesn't go to the games. He goes out fishing and might watch them on the DVR when he gets back if he likes the game result. He will then fill his day complaining non-stop about posters who complain after they attended or watched it live.
So the OP was just ranting and didn't really have a "point" to his thread nor did he give us anything we haven't heard before within said rant.
But thanks for sharing your valued opinion. At least now you'll feel better having gotten that off your chest. Best of luck to you watching Hawkeye athletics over the next year!
