They include the CIC, the academic consortium of B!G schools than fosters cooperative academic research among B1G schools. The CIC is often described as the heavyweight in American higher education. The SEC has recently formed a similar consortium, but it is a pale shadow of the CIC.
The State of Missouri has more communication and transportation links with the B1G than with the SEC states.
The B1G schools were as a group the best academic institutions. That may be a little questionable now after the B1G's expansion and the improvement of some of the lesser PAC 12 schools.
