The Big 10 has made a number of strange decisions. Logic suggested the Big 10 add the Big 12 North minus Colorado (who belonged in the PAC-12 anyway) in 2010, giving them a near-comprehensive footprint across the Midwest. The schools had enough in common to guarantee stability for decades. Instead, they added Rutgers and Maryland, who will leave when the TV money dries up.
The lack of concern for geography is why the mid-major conferences have blown up and reformed every 3-5 years. They don't have money to offer as an incentive to stay.
