Should Michigan leave the Big Ten?

Should Michigan leave the Big Ten?

I mean what's the point in staying here? U of M has contributed greatly into making the conference powerful. So powerful that the conference is now stealing other teams from other conferences. Yet that's all that Michigan gets in return is a bunch of crap. It's to the point where Michigan will have a hard time competing because their program will be under much more scrutiny than the other teams in the conference. Every player we recruit now will have to have a perfect record with great grades.

I'm sure other conferences would love to have Michigan with their tradition and academics. Or if Michigan went independent I'm sure teams would line up to have a chance to play them. I'm just wondering what other people think about this. Should Michigan consider leaving the Big Ten?

Fail.

Simple answer . . . No.  There's no evidece we will have a hard time competing.  We've had a tough two years with a new offense and lack of depth.  If we go 9-3 this year, we'll all talking how Nebraska and A&M don't want to play us. (TX a different story).

Let's leave what could be the best sporting conference in all of college sports. Let's throw away the money they reel in every year due to being a part of this conference.

That is, without a doubt, the most spectacularly ill-conceived idea I have ever seen presented on this forum.  I am almost "not mad but impressed" like with Baxter and the wheel of cheese.  I can't believe you were able to write something, on a day when so many crazy ideas are already flying around, that could make my jaw drop and make me start giggling like a 12 year old girl.  But you did it.

This same argument was used on Thomas Jefferson. That's why he moved to France for awhile.  And then he caught syphilis.*

Perfect sarcasm!

You're kidding, right? 

(Psst - if you are serious don't admit it and go away!)

i love this sketch so much,

i love this sketch so much, it hurts that i have but one +1 to give you.  my old firm once did a deal w/ the venture capitalist who says "this maybe the worst idea i've ever heard."  they refused to let me ask him about the sketch.  with good reason and all, but still.

Freep

Instead of even contemplating this, why haven't enough "powerful" people condemned the freep press for screwing up our secondary by having to go all pitchfork/torch on Dorsey?  The freep continuosly screws things up for us!

Michigan to Join MAC

I think your onto something here.  With close proximity in geography, it only makes sense that Michigan join the MAC.  That would make for a lot of high-quality games.  Good call.

Dumbest thing you've ever

Dumbest thing you've ever read?

Are we reading the same Internet?

There's nothing wrong with asking, from time to time, "what does the Big Ten really do for us?"

The answer is a shit ton of research money, the best rivalry in sports which the conference protects jealously, invitations to big-time bowl games, a tough annual schedule against teams of like academics from relatively nearby, a basic cable network that we essentially dominate, and a fantastic conference for all of our sports.

My vote is to stay.
