LOL what? The answer is more like why wouldn't they want Miami lol? Miami is probably the #1 school on the B1G wishlist, I'd imagine.
It's just too crazy with spiralling prices what about travel from like St Paul to Coral Gables or from there to West Wood Ca? not alot of history or interest in those match ups - just a bad fit as are the left coasters. How many kids from down there are going to want to go that far away from home? Just sort of smacks of Big Jim grabbing Rutgers for NYC clicks when any BIG fans there already had the cable package anyway

B1G revenue share will pay for a lot of travel costs... And a lot of everything else too.

Travel from LA to Penn St. is worse than Miami or Fort Lauderdale

I appreciate the recruiting value of adding Miami as @Mdot21 stated but my hesitation is the same as @MrNubbz , do they add revenue by bringing fans?

I see FSU as slightly more valuable than Miami

but nether of them add enough value to split revenues another one or two ways

I'm not one to see much "recruiting value" in adding a team these days.  I'd judge everything based on $$$.

I think they are splitting hairs. And I think I'd rather have Miami.

Yeah but SEC and UGA in particular doesn't have to ever worry about shifting demographics which has become a hinderance to recruiting the very best players the nation has to offer. B1G and the helmets in the B1G footprint like M/OSU/PSU do.

How many elite players in Florida would be more attracted to other B1G teams if Miami were in that conference?  My guess is zero.  Maybe Miami gets a bump.

it makes a difference

it the kid and family know they will get a game in Miami on the upcoming schedule

the Big Ten teams coming to Miami 4 or 5 times a season helps with exposure

It also means Midwest kids who may not want to leave their family for 4 years and have their family be unable to see them play their sport might accept offers from Miami knowing that they'll be coming back to the Midwest multiple times a year for games, and they get to party with bikini-clad South Beach denizens. 

I could see this (and USC/UCLA) equally those schools in warmer climes being more able to strip recruits OUT of the Midwest than perhaps it might get Midwest schools access to those recruits to come from warm sunny places to the frozen tundra.

My guess is the elite 4 and 5 star guys considered other variables.
