OSU fans whining about Big 10 going for the money

Anyone else have a problem with OSU fans saying the Big 10 is wrong for changing tradition because they are after money. Isn't that exactly what the bucks do w/ the unfair slanted 8 home v 4 away games per season. I definitely see the issue of moving the UM game but calling out the Big 10 for a money grab is absurd. Th...e entire college football landscape is unfair because of the BCS and scheduling money grabs.
How will the Big Ten lose money moving that game? its OK when OSU does it, even though it completely destroys the competitive landscape of college sports in the favor of OSU, but its not ok when the Big Ten does it. The reality is that if OSU (and all other majors) were forced to play a 6home game 6 away game schedule they would lose more games. The home team wins 75% of out of conference games.OSU doesnt want competitive balance...competitive balance leads to a better product
The university of Miami is going to Toledo to play a game next year. The restults of that game in terms of boosting fan support for Toledo will be immeasureable. This is a rare occasion but would happen all the time if it was a 6-6 schedule. Imagine if the Browns got 10 home games and the Steelers got 6. Its absurd to even think about. No wonder they win all the time. Your arguments are just a case of the haves, making the rules to keep the have nots down.
