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.

Northwestern is getting better talent out of Texas the last 5 years, some of that has to do with more emphasis on Texas talent and NU investing millions in new facilities but I believe some of that also has to do with Texas and A&M in a down cycle. Not sure why Nebraska's recruiting in Texas has suffered but now that they've hired a head coach with ties in Florida I would bet that is where they will be looking to harvest talent.
