ASU talking to the Big10...and others
Another interesting article and it certainly highlights what the Big10's pitch is going to be: "like institutions".
What's also interesting is the "attitude" of the writer, which I'm guessing is a reflection of the Big10 fan base in general, that is very elitist and condescending. If the Big10 comes in with a "you need us more than we need you" attitude I think we end up in the NCHC, which is where I'd like to be. If the Big10 comes in with a more "let's do this together" attitude I can see the Big10 as a legit option.
At the end of the day it's going to be very interesting to see what ultimately ends up being the destination. There's pros and cons on joining either the NCHC and the Big10. If the Big10's attitude mirrors the writer's, ASU needs to head for the NCHC.
