Yep, and Chicago is a city people actually want to go to. Ask anyone if they'd be interested in going to Indianapolis this weekend and they will stare at you blankly. Replace it with Chicago and people are signing up for sure. Add in the massive amount of alumni from pretty much every Big ten school in the Chicago area and it should have been a no brainer.
Yet another dropped ball by the Big Ten leadership, they've been brutal time and time again over the last couple of years. Almost seems like a sense of complacency set in based on their position as financial leaders. Not sure if they know this, but that gap is closing and closing quickly.
