I think the bigger issue is that the blue bloods among those Big 10 look at the also-rans within their conference and confuse their mediocrity on the field for purity in recruiting all the while they enjoy beating those teams year in and year out. In their ignorance they assume that the weak teams in the SEC are all Vanderbilts while in reality every weak team in the conference has 2-6 players who could start for Bama, LSU, UGA, etc while Purdue, Illinois, etc have MAC-level rosters that could hardly sniff the second string at Ohio State.
