I don't think Penn State is midwestern and it doesn't belong in the Big 10.

Most Penn State grads look East for jobs, and they don't end up in Chicago.

I say Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago. I'm not sure about Omaha. It seems more plains to me.

I think of it like this, The Midwest consists of the states:

South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.

Then there are two sub-regions, the Great Plains and Great Lakes

The Great Plains consists of: South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri.

The Great Lakes consists of: Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.

Like the West has the Pacific Northwest and Southwest.

In my mind there are 2 different debates going on here at once. One is a geographical debate, of what states are actually in the "midwest" and as far as that goes, "thePR" Posted nicely what that consisted of.


The other debate is more of cultural a standpoint of the midwest, and correct me if I'm wrong most people are focused on that aspect.

There is a huge difference in comparing chicago, detroit, and cleveland to Say Omaha, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo, because of the midwest culuture
