<p>^I’m sure Ohio State will get to join that august group someday, just as they got to join the Western Conference back in '13. Just think of it: Back in 1910, Ohio State was in the Ohio Athletic Conference playing the likes of Case Institute of Technology, Kenyon, Oberlin, Ohio Wesleyan, Western Reserve, Denison, Heidelberg, Wooster, Wittenberg, Cincinnati, and Ohio U. In a few short years, it joined the greatest conference in the history of collegiate football. So, who knows, 2020 isn’t that far off…</p>
<p>OK, everyone back to their original conferences! College football will be better off for it.</p>
