lack of self control is very evident in O Brother Where Art Thou? as well as in The Odyssey‚ these stories portray how engrained this problem is‚ and are evidence to how long lack of control has been pervasive in society.

The Big Ten’s expansion didn’t come without heavy scrutiny‚ as there were many people who disagreed with the wisdom behind this move. Throughout its existence Big Ten membership has been limited to schools situated within the Midwest‚ so it was a bit of a surprise when the Big Ten decided to add
