Bad Ideas?

I thought I'd put my two cents in re: NU. I really don't care and don't pay attention to the college sports (even less than the election process, which means I shouldn't even attempt to write this), but the prestige of the Big 10 alone ought to cause NU to pause before it leaves. And it shouldn't join C-USA.

Given that, why not become independent? It is in another league academically, as the stats Brian posts shows. Yes, it has enjoyed some relatively modest athletic success as of late, but for the most part it is competing against teams with traditions far more storied than NU. Rather than risk competing with those traditions, leave the Big 10 and establish a stronger sense of its own independent athletic tradition.


But in the end, I really don't care. All I want is to see OSU lose to UofM in the football field.
