RE: Which Big 10 athletic program is best if you have to win a title in 5 years

One change that could be beneficial is the early visits from high school recruits. Even then, until young recruits change their mindset about playing miles away from home it would have a limited effect.
Agreed about nationally recruiting but now that New Jersey and Maryland plus the states that adjoin them (New York, Virginia, DS Delaware) are now easier to recruit in because there are Big 10 programs nearby; getting top level talent interseted in a Big 10 program should be easier.
Recruiting in Texas should also be easier with the down falls of Texas and Texas A&M. Texas has hit rock bottom and A&M Is not far from that. NU recruits Texas hard and it has helped improve the roster
Ask Missouri what its like recruiting Texas now not in the Big 12, and that's even with an SEC team in the league. Nebraska in the B1G may get a player or two from Texas and maybe even a 4 star recruit or two but it won't be the top ranked recruits from the state. More than likely it will be someone Texas, OU, A&M, LSU, and a few others didn't recruit to hard.
If the B1G wanted access to Texas recruits they need to bring Texas & OU into the league but you need to add another Texas school and Rice isn't sufficient for the Longhorns.
