Flip the PAC schools.

Utah has overachieved in the PAC. They have won a few division titles and played strong power football.

The Colorado addition has not yet borne any fruit. They failed to entice Texas into the conference. The football team had a few horrible seasons. Their TV viewership has been bad.

You're going way back to 1978 by including the Arizona schools. As long as you are doing that, though, UA and ASU have been stronger additions to the Pac than CU and UU.

Its funny, Nebraska has been a huge disappointment since the Huskers joined the Big Ten, but Rutgers has just been such a complete dumpster fire, you have to rank Rutgers as the worst add, and its not even close.

Hopefully for both the Big Ten and for Rutgers, Greg Schiano can get the football team turned around like the Rutgers basketball team did last year, because the Big Ten needs Rutgers to have some decent team going forward.

I think the difference between Rutgers and Nebraska is expectations.

I think everyone knew Rutgers was a market grab and would be a fixture in the bottom half of the division standings.

Nebraska was expected to win division titles and appear in major bowls.

Rutgers is doing what they were expected to do; Nebraska hasn’t quite lived up.

As much as I love my Hokies, I'll be the first to admit that VT is only the 2nd best add - after FSU.

I would assert that GT and Louisville were not expansions but replacements for SC and MD.
