There. I said it.

One of the great things about being in the Big Ten is the OOC games are played against opponents who would otherwise not return a visit to your place. I know we've had several games against Pac-12 teams from a scheduling agreement that's winding down. Even though we lost on head-to-head yesterday, I think we should schedule more games against ACC opponents. One, most of them aren't too strong so the rest of the Big Ten can compete with them. Two, they're much more willing to agree to play home-and-home, unlike the SEC. Three, most ACC schools are located in fertile territory. So visiting their campuses get the Big Ten more exposure in areas where we need to be. The SEC will only agree to neutral site games unless you're a G5 school, ironically. Out of that conference, only LSU and Missouri will travel out of their area. Frankly, I'm tired of that BS.

Go around them by putting good numbers against PAC/ACC teams.
