argument. Traditionally, the B10 has been big, midwestern land grant public universities with excellent academic reputations and standards. Football has always been big, but just part of that mix. In the SEC, football is king and everything else including academic standards are subordinate. That’s not to say there aren’t some very, very good academic institutions there, there really are, but the culture is football first. OSU is the one B10 school that fits the SEC mix. It is a very good school academically, but football is first and foremost.
