As much as I agree with the underlying notion that

the B10 is overrated ON THE FIELD that isn't what matters, and honestly the "markets" don't matter either. What matters is ratings whether you are a school in the middle of nowhere or a school in NYC if you draw RATINGS you are worth more ad money PERIOD. And the Big 10 draws ratings that are really impressive. A lot of those middling schools you listed draw much better ratings than you or I would expect (because they suck....) and have really large alumni bases and fan bases.
