    Re: double standard?

    Let's be fair here guys. The Gopher fan (snort) has a great point about how everyone should be looking out for their best interest. Wisconsin should get together with the other Big Ten schools that take football seriously and kick Minnesota, Northwestern and Indiana out of the league. They're just sucking money out of teams with stadiums with double their capacity. They can go mope about in CUSA until they feel like getting their act together. My God, Indiana is playing at North Texas tomorrow. That's no way for a Leader or Legend to treat their premiere sport.

      Tell you what, how about after Wisconsin wins as many National Championships in football as Minnesota, you come back and make this suggestion. It will never happen in your lifetime, so don't hold your breath.

        Who gives a crap about titles won decades ago?
        The NCHC didn't when they ignored Tech, why should the Big Ten care about Minnesota, which hasn't been relevant in football in 50 years?

          If these recent realignments in football and hockey have taught us anything, it's that tradition no longer matters, just $$$, so your point is pretty irrelevant...

            It has to do with the Haves and haves-nots. Minnesota has multiple national championships in football, and Wisconsin has-not. If Wisconsin is so ****ing awesome, then how come they have a losing record against the horrible Gophers? I guess you guys sucked for longer in the Big Ten then Minnesota. Barry Alvarez almost won a championship in 1993, but he got beat by Minnesota.


            but, to answer your question, the Twin Cities is a much larger TV audience than Madison.

              1. Not a Badger fan, actually a Gopher fan.
              2. Bigger market yes, but do the Gophers generate more tv revenue than Wisconsin?
              3. Still doesn't mean those titles mean anything in whether the Gophers are relevant in the Big Ten.

                Cool. Go hang out with Princeton and Army on that one.

                Edit: Seriously, Happy. I'm trying to mock the thread starter that claims similar allegiance to your school and you go and get all serious and factual. Are you running a fever?

                            Also I believe you spelled Niagara incorrectly.
                            If you are going to take the time to rip apart someone's use of the language, I would at least try to get it right yourself. Start by capitalizing "I" when you use it to reference yourself. If you're going to begin a sentence with "Also," put a comma after it as a general rule. Also, team names are capitalized as they are proper nouns.

                            I'm here to help. (c)
