Now that the dust has settled some from the Conference expansion that has taken place. Which conference do you think came out best?
I hate to say it but Jim Delany and the Big Ten in my opinion came out on top.
They were the ones who began this Expansion feeding frenzy and caused the PAC 10 to rush into the game and swing for the fences (Pac 10 CAN"T be out done by the Big 10!!). Even when I thought the PAC 10 was going to win this battle, Jim Delaney and the Big 10 remained calm and even in their decision and what they wanted to accomplish. They did not get involved in all the massive expansion talk but let the feeding frenzy play out on its own...
And the main reason I think they came out on top was the idea of having a chmapionship game over the next few years is sweet. It was what I have been looking for from the Big 10 (They needed it to remain competitive in Bowls games as well). The idea of a Nebraska vs Ohio State or Nebraska vs. Michigan etc for a conference championship is causing me to have goatnapper dreams..
In the end, Jim Delaney took a gamble and they could of easily looked stupid in this, but they came out the winner imo..
Who do you think won the battle of expansion..
