I had a mint stout a year or so ago and it was by far and away the worst beer I have ever had. It tasted like I was sipping on a tall glass of chew. I don't recall where it was from, but if you ever happen to see "mint stout" on the beverage menu, give it a wide berth.

This is exactly what has to happen to level the playing field with the SEC regarding football recruits.  You just can't get around the numbers!  For those of you who haven't seen the following site... please check it out, you'll understand why this is a necessity.  The SEC and Texas and California have a distinct advantage because players are easily (and earlier) able to make unoffical visits.  This is one of the big reasons we added Rutgers and Maryland (check out the recruits from those states).... of course in addition to thier media market, size, AAU membership, fit etc... You now have Michigan, OSU, Penn State (and okay, as of late, MSU) alternating playing ouside of New York and DC (with Virginia recruits right across the border).  The only way to increase exposure.... outside of future expansion (Georgia Tech, Virginia...etc) is to have camps in these areas.  I don't care if the local teams get upset.... they are just as welcome to set up camp in the Big Ten footprint.  This is good for conference parity, just as limiting the number of scholarships in the past helped parity between individual football programs. Plus with the coaches we have, we would be stupid not to.  As quoted above.... (top contacts: TX, CA, FL, MI, OH) that is exactly what we need.  Michigan has to become a national recruiter (while not losing it's base).  

Quick run down:  Total recruits (average/year) by State (2008-20013)

TX- 358   15.3%

FL- 320   13.7%

CA- 236  10.1%

GA- 158   6.8%

OH- 152   6.5%

AL- 84      3.6%

LA- 83      3.6%

PA- 68      2.9%

IL- 63        2.7%

MI- 60       2.6%

Who gets the $50 entry fee. Is this some sort of fund raiser? Everybody knows these "camps" are really a business and money maker for the hosts.

If you add up recruiting percentages by state per conference you have the following.... (ie. if there are two schools in the same state, but different conferences, then they both get the percent from that state... ie. no dividing and hence summation is > 100%)

 

Top 27 states:

SEC:                50.2

ACC:               32.3

BIG 10:            22.9

Big 12:             16.9

PAC 12:           14.6

this is all really great but how long before this loophole is closed? Franklin got away with it last year and Im really glad to see this staff thinking outside the box but I cant imagine the SEC or Big12 are too happy about this.

fight with the northern conferences. The B1G should have no interest in stopping it unless it wants to stay a mediocre conference. The B1G should be encouraging others to do it. Regardless it's still better to have strong teams to compete nationally or you become irrelevant.
