Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

A big brand... in basketball.

Clearly Indiana and Illinois are the biggest brands among the basketball schools, as they are the only ones that are having their hardwood prestige bleed over into success on the gridiron.

We all agree on 9 of the top ten, in some order.

Although the football team has been down the last couple years,  I would argue Mich St is the top basketball brand right now in the Big Ten.  They had a pretty good run with Magic Johnson playing and then again they have had a long run of success with Tom Izzo coaching since 2000.

MD, Mich, Purdue and Ohio St have all had decent basketball runs too with mixed football success.

Edit: Never mind.  I figured out you were talking about basketball schools with football teams in the top ten.  Ignore my post.

1) Wisconsin.


2) Really good discussions of college football stuff with people who have been around enough not to talk in generalities and sound bytes.


3) Random discussions of things with near strangers who are also friends...which is also kinda random.


4) Trying to find ways to rank Purdue really low without offending a real standup poster.


5) (Puzzling through why Nebraska is here, but liking their posters)


6) A good place to celebrate the little victories in life.


7) A good place to vent about the silliness (so long as it's not politics)


8) Watching MDot and OAM's posts and the responses like a tennis match.


9) Pretty good advice on food and travel.


10) Ohio State vs. Michigan flamewars, that, like any good wildfire, can start and spread anywhere.


18-millionteenth) UCLA.

4) Trying to find ways to rank Purdue really low without offending a real standup poster.

Really? I'm not sure I'd describe @jhetfield99 as being "offended" by your rankings of Purdue...

Same with @WhiskeyM I reckon.
