You might quite honestly be the only human being I have encountered that is in favor of all of this Big 10 expansion, other than people who are, you know, actually getting paid by the Big 10. More power to ya. You know that Purdue and the Big 10 isn’t going to send you any money right? I mean you know that? For all the water you carry for the shit sandwiches that keep getting served to us, you deserve at least something.
USC/UCLA was a great move. Washington/Oregon is probably fairly meaningless. I would have waited but it probably would have happened at some point.

The Big 10 isn’t stopping at 18 teams dipshit. Just like they weren’t stopping at 16 five months ago when your assured me your wonderful scheduling propositions would be true. From 2011 through 2015 Wisconsin didn’t play Michigan at all, obviously there were fewer teams in the conference back then.
You calling me a dipshit always happens at the time when you realize just how wrong you were. I showed you how you play every team every other year in an 18 team league which you thought was impossible. Even at 20, you play them almost every two years. You were factually incorrect about that complaint. If they go to 24, guess what, there will likely be a larger regional scheduling component so the former Pac 12 and former ACC teams play more often which means you get your traditional rivals more too as an original Big Ten team. That's the ironic part of all of this. If the Big Ten goes to 24 then it ends up basically being two divisions of the original Big Ten, one division of the former Pac 12, and one division of the former ACC.

Again, I applaud your ability to be part of the propaganda machine that relies on rubes like you to laud all these business decisions that dilute the produce that you were invested in. It really is remarkable.
You can continue to be an old man yelling at clouds about how awesome it was when the Big Ten had 10 teams if you want. If I could return to those days I would too. I'd rather return to the 12 team Big Ten with Nebraska and PSU. Those days are over. The Big East literally doesn't play football any more. The Pac 12 is 4 teams and none of them have a home that doesn't include Hawaii and Fresno State. You either eat or get eaten. I'll choose the path where OSU, Michigan, and PSU weren't poached by the SEC or the super conference while you can complain that Wisconsin doesn't get to play Michigan enough when the other option was scheduling a Wisconsin-Michigan game as an OOC game while Michigan plays at the highest level of college football in a 16 team super conference with Alabama and LSU and USC and Texas.
So, to sum it up. You'll still get your dream Wisconsin-Michigan matchup every other year, or almost every other year with 20 teams, which you thought was impossible. If it goes to 24, expect a regional scheduling model that actually gets us a little bit closer to what we had previously.
