I think both of these teams will do fine over time in the big ten. It also has loads to do with academics. It's hard to establish a large footprint or add teams when you have strict academic standards for conference members. Where else could they have gone instead of Maryland and Rutgers? Maybe Pitt but they already agreed to move to ACC. And any conference that takes Notre Dame based on Notre Dames standards is pretty weak if you ask me. Either way it should be interesting to see them in the conference.
