grant revenue Big 10 teams earn is several times more than the athletic revenue. This is why Penn State wouldn't leave the Big 10 when the Big East was created, even when Penn State was having trouble recruiting and winning football games.

Arizona and ASU could not survive independence. Nebraska could for sure

Independence is a deserted wasteland. Sure they could pull it off. But, why?
