Why wouldn't Northwestern remain B10? Whoever asked that is a dumbass.

It was strictly a financial question about small schools in big conferences that aren't successful in athletics, but are protected by being a part of the conference. Would the Big 10 dump Northwestern if they could get Notre Dame? Would the SEC dump Miss. State if they could get Texas?
The point being made was if it's all about TV, why would these conferences bat an eye at dumping irrelevant programs?
