Take a look at the Big 12 rosters of the top teams.
The best players on the teams are from Texas.
Half of the Oklahoma team is Texas.

Oklahoma
OK. St.
Texas Tech
Texas
Texas ATM
Baylor

The entire Big 12 south is Texas.
Missouri, Neb, Kansas, Top players Texas.

Ohio St. is supposed to own Ohio... right?
And they pull Pryor from Penn. and snack on Michigan players.
How does Ohio ST. not win the National Championship every year with all the good HS players in Ohio?

Do other States snag all those good HS players from Cinc. and Clev.?
I have heard they have the best HS football teams in the country.
Just wondering....

Phil, what the hell are you talking about?

Yes, other teams get players from Ohio. It's not the 1980s anymore. All the teams are on TV. The number of scholarships is limited. The talent gets more spread out. What's your point?

Ohio State gets the majority of the best players from Ohio, but Michigan and Penn State get some too. Penn State gets a lot of the best players from Pennsylvania. Michigan and Ohio State get some too. What's the point? Ohio State has been one of the best teams in the country for the past seven years. What is your point?

Are you trying to tell me the Big Ten benefits from having schools in multiple states, like Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, which produce little to no good players? What is your point?
