Because the BIG 10 is a bigger money maker than the SEC. Under what I talked about you would have a national conference that includes most of the major TV markets.
Big Ten already provides its schools with 50+ Million a year in funding, and this would make the pot even larger. Plus the Big Ten redoes its TV deal in 2023. Their first up in getting huge media money.
Maybe the PAC 12 can be the third major conference, but right now it looks like its the SEC and Big 10's game, you want to be part of those two conferences.
