Yet only 1 Big 10 school has made the move, Indiana, and while not a perennial winner they have made strides in keeping games interesting and have knocked off a couple of Big 10 schools that prior to their change in scheme would have been considered too strong for them to beat.

I don't think they believe the speed exists within traditions B1G territory to run the spread. And Urban Meyer seems to be the only one capable pulling a decent number of recruits from the south to mitigate that deficit.

I always have trouble with this subject. How does the South grow faster players than the North. Is it in the hot sauce or something? I do not buy it. There are fast players in the B1G. They are just going to the MAC because the B1G believes in Bigger Is Better.
