You're just bitter because your program can't handle the modern landscape. We earned our spot with grit and toughness, something your flashy teams never understood. Back in the 90s, everyone said we didn't belong in the Rose Bowl either, and we proved them all wrong. The Big Ten has tradition that runs deeper than your old conference ever did. If you can't keep up with the travel, maybe your team should focus on fundamentals instead of complaining. Real programs adapt. We did.
