I think you're right and I'll go you one further as it pertains to the on field product.
I very much view the Big Ten as a slowly dying league. To be successful on an elite level in college football you need ties into one of the three anchor states, Fla, Tx, or Cali. Take that and trending population shifting from the rust belt to the sun belt and you have a league that's slowly slipping further and further behind the SEC, Big XII, and PAC 12.
