Mich St still has a more prestigious name
The Big 10 is a more prestigious conference but I don't know if Michigan State's football name is really that prestigious.

The have won the Big 10 championship 87', 65', 66' co-champs 53' & 78'.

So in 46-years since they joined the Big 10 MSU has won 5 conference championships.

That doesn't really impress me.

Heck Northwestern has 7 big 10 championships.
(03', 26', 30', 31', 36', 95', 96') ....although some of them are ancient.

MSU isn't really impressive when you look at how many Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State have won in that conference.
