No butt hurt,you simply suffer from anal-cerebral inversion. They went down south as the conference games concluded by the end of November they'd break for a week and go back for final exams of fall semester. Then leave for the Holidays. When were  they going to schedule games involving Student-Athletes - unlike today?

Originally bowl committees and host cities paid massive cash guarantees directly to the schools to convince them to make the long trip across the country. The early bowl game system was actually invented as a tourist trap and real estate marketing scheme.

Cities like Pasadena (Rose Bowl), Miami (Orange Bowl), and New Orleans (Sugar Bowl) realized that winter weather was their greatest asset. They used cash to lure Midwestern and East Coast universities down to play a game, knowing that thousands of wealthy fans would buy train tickets, rent hotel rooms, and buy local real estate.

So that's who paid whom and why,how much? - look it up yourself fauntleroy
Fantastic.

And whining about it for decades got you where?

While Kentucky sits alone atop the SEC.

Madness.
well, they have 7 wins but the number that makes it a tie in my mind is one loss
I doubt they finish on top but I'm rooting for them

That's one.  Thank you.
Are we supposing no Big Ten player was ever paid? 
I don't know what you are supposing. Why are we even having this conversation. There is no debate. Money and transfers have made things much more even. Of course the Big Ten winning a bunch overlaps with that, because now money is more important than geography or passion or whatever else. It was a black market before and now it is not.

I love the response of "we just know" when asked for evidence.

You're a master debater.

I presented evidence and your response was "well so what." Because you have no response. So many people will do anything just to avoid admitting they are wrong.
