I’m sure the Big 10 likes having good academic and talent research schools. But people on here were saying Ohio State wouldn’t go to the SEC because of research. I’m saying a school’s conference has no impact on research funding they receive. Moving conferences won’t make a school more or less likely to get research funding. There’s no additional incentive or motivation to partner with schools in your conference. It is all a matter of finding research partners that compliment what you do.I just thought it was a way for B1G fans to find something to humble brag about after their basketball teams flailed around this past March.
I’m saying research dollars might impact what conference may invite a school, but the conference a school is in doesnt effect it’s ability to secure research dollars.
