If the Big Ten were to expel six members in order to get back to 10, and the criteria were "$$$" instead of tradition/academics, which six would get the ax?

Rutgers, Maryland, Indiana, Illinois, Northwestern, and Purdue probably.  Maybe Nebraska, Iowa or Michigan State would also be considered.

I suspect that a school like Minnesota would precede the "basketball" trio of Indiana, Purdue and/or Illinois.

Throwing out academics and tradition, football attendance might be a good measure

In - OSU, Mich, PSU, MSU, Neb, Wisc, Iowa, USC, UCLA,  Notre Dame

OUT - RUT, MD, Indy, Pur, Minn, ILL, NW

Kicking out Indy, Purdue, ILL, NW, Minn leaves some voids with the states of IND, ILL, Minn left out.  I think the only answer is add Notre Dame as #10 to help fill the void.

Does UCLA really outdraw NU and Minnie?

I mean, I don't mind dropping NU. Chicago just isn't the road trip it used to be, now that you cannot go out at night.

I kind of gave USC and UCLA a pass and was working off memory for Big Ten teams but decided to look it up for Big Ten, PAC and Notre Dame. This was 5 year average from before pandemic.  So numbers may seem off if you are using 2021 numbers instead.

Mich 110k
Ohio St 106k
PSU 103k
Neb 90k
Notre Dame 80k
Wisc 79k
Mich st 74k
USC 69k
Iowa 67k
Washington 66k
UCLA 64k (although recent numbers are much lower)
Oregon 56k
Ariz St 52k
Ariz 48k
Utah 46k
Stanford 45k
Minn 45k
Cal 45k
Rut 44k
Col 43k
Ind 43k
Pur 41k
MD 41k
ILL 41k
NW 37k
Ore. ST 37K
Wash St 31k

I'd guess UCLA/USC attendance figures will pick up playing in the B1G, in part B1G fans will go out there I suspect, or live there.  We obviously have a ton of B1G fans locally who would show up for games between say UGA and Wisconsin, even GaTech and Wisconsin, and Tech doesn't usually sell out unless they play UGA/Clemson.

So NU, RU, MD and Minnie do a fairly decent jobs of filling up their stadiettes it seems.


Purdue and Illinois look worse in that regard.

Yes, I could see a lot fans who have never been to the real Rose Bowl flying out for a UCLA game where at least you can check out the Rose Bowl stadium.  Not exactly the same as going to THE Rose Bowl,  but it might be on some fans bucket lists.
