All I can say is if Bemidji gets in, if you win the toss, defer and take the wind!
I'm only half-serious about a Penn State/Missouri swap, but I've never thought Penn State fits the Big Ten culture.
I guess I don't understand why a school has to fit in 100% with a "culture" of a conference? Or, let me put it this way... the B1G is a "midwest" conference, but what does that mean? Ohio, Michigan, Indiana are states that have TONS of manufacturing - steel mills, auto industry, etc. Those industries and type of people dominate that region. But MN, WI, Iowa, Illinois, now Nebraska were states (and still are) that have a different "culture" of people - farmers, dairy, lighter manufacturing, smaller cities, etc. I would honestly say PSU fits in to the culture of midwest (western PA is very blue collar), the B1G football culture (big stadiums, rabid fans, etc), and the academic culture.
To say the ACC is a better fit simply because now Piss and Syracuse are joining is as crazy as saying PSU fits in with every school in the B1G. Are you telling me PSU has as much in common with schools like Miami? Florida State? Georgia Tech? Clemson? Come on.
I give PSU fans that they have a history with certain teams found in the ACC - Pitt, Syracuse, and Maryland are all in their top-10 most played teams list. I don't doubt many fans miss playing Pitt every year (natural rivalry) and then being able to mix it up with other independents like Army/Navy, then play some geographically local teams like Maryland, West Virginia, etc every year. But the reality is that when they joined the B1G they got MUCH higher quality opponents every year, better exposure, and the academic benefits as well. They have 4 (soon to be 3) games a year to schedule teams like Pitt/Syracuse, why not use them?
To be honest I like having PSU in the B1G and think they fit in pretty darn well.
