makes sense in today's college football. I think back in the day they actually did it and that's where the old 3 yards and a cloud of dust reputation that the BIG10 (midwestern schools in general) had before started. Now we see most of the really good BIG10 teams are built much like the other good/great teams in any other region in recent years...speed, spread O, RPOs, quick screens, huge WRs etc. Teams still run the ball, but few just line up in the I, option or wishbone. But Ann Arbor, Columbus, Madison, Lansing, Iowa City, Lincoln, Twin Cities and Chicago, in general, probably all experience worse winter weather that Rutgers/Maryland or Pitt/Boston.
