This is tough article and study to understand after seeing Meyer, Harbaugh, Dantonio, Franklin, Alvarez/Chryst and Ferentz doing pretty good in Recruiting in 2016 and so far in 2017? Not good news for the Big-12 either. Yet, the SEC, ACC and PAC-12 continue to grow and do well with their Demographics on Recruiting and putting Players into the NFL.

Study: How the Big Ten lost recruiting wars against the Power 5 conferences
February 26, 2016
The Big Ten's struggles with declining populations in the Midwest have been well known and discussed for years. But new statistics show just how bad it got for the Big Ten. Between 2007 and 2014, the Big Ten fared the worst against other Power Five conferences in recruiting battles when one of the two leagues won a player.
hose results came from a study filed in an ongoing lawsuit against the NCAA related to an old rule banning multi-year scholarships. The purpose of economist Daniel Rascher's study, filed as part of a larger document in the John Rock case, is to discredit NCAA expert Lauren Stiroh's argument that different regions of the country are distinct recruiting markets.The reality is football recruiting is national. Otherwise, why would Harbaugh take Michigan to IMG Academy (home of many elite recruits) for a week in Bradenton, Florida? Harbaugh likes to say, “In my America, you're allowed to cross state borders.” The Big Ten has been in need of doing something to improve recruiting.....................
..........The Big Ten won 45 percent of those competitions vs. the ACC, 48 percent vs. the Pac-12, and 50 percent vs. the Big 12. In other words, for eight years, the Big Ten never had a winning recruiting record against another major conference -- the only Power Five league with that distinction. Other findings the study showed with recruiting battles:................
............The ACC split with the other Power Five conferences. It defeated the Big Ten (55 percent) and Big 12 (55 percent), and lost to the SEC (42 percent) and Pac-12 (49 percent). The ACC had the second-most active NFL players this season behind the SEC.
