Of course not all research dollars are weighed the same or even counted by the AAU.  Competitive vs non competitive research.  It's a club.

Which civil war lines?
1767 Mason Dixon line
1820 Missouri Compromise?
1850 Omnibus Compromise
1854 Kansas/Nebraska Act
1861 Civil War Start
1864 Civil War End
Missouri was a Union State do we get them from SEC? But they were a slave state do they stay South?
Virginia was a Southern State at the start of the War, but West Virginia became a state because of the War, where do we put WV?
Virginia was occupied basically the entire war, can we make them an honorary North Member?

The one where KY and MO are in the south, whereas MD, DE, and WV are in the North.

growing up I always viewed Missouri as a southern state.   Living here the past 14 years, it's really both.   Interstate 70 appears to me to be a good dividing line between a southern culture and more of a Midwest culture.

I briefly lived in Higginsville, MO. It was North of 70, and the primary attraction was a Confederate cemetery.

by 15 miles or so.....  I wasn't stating that to as an exact hard line.   But like NY where the city and the rest of the state feel very different, I think the same holds true for Missouri.

Interstate 80 in Iowa has also been a dividing line.  It's been suggested that if the Iowa/Missouri border were moved to I-80 it would nearly double the average IQ of it's states residents.

Someone said that a river in that area was the dividing line. 
Since I was in second grade the year that I lived there, I'll have to take their word for it.

Yeah, looking at Google maps it is right in between I70 and the Missouri River; an east/west river that connects KC with SL.

The E/W river that connects KC with SL is the Missouri, no?

The mountainous regions of the Confederacy were pro-union in the main.  A county in north Georgia is called Union County.  Most of the residents there hid out to avoid the war, including most of my kin apparently.  Eastern Tennessee was very pro-Union, so perhaps Tennessee should go to the B1G.  

I would disagree that Virginia was largely occupied during the Civil War.  Parts of it were for sure, near Norfolk and near DC in the main.  

The ACC obviously spans any Mason-Dixon demarkation, which of course just defines the MD-PA border, it doesn't not extend west at all.

Could you imagine West Virginia in the B10?

WV could technically go either way, since they broke away from Virginia during the Civil War.
