Well...the regents didn't pony up for the last two UI presidents...so it figures...now that we have lost two good ones...they will open up the wallet to pay the mediocre one. Sally Mason is not worth that much money...frankly I don't understand why they are paying her that...didn't the Regents...

I hope it's nothing serious health wise!

James ended up in a great spot...I will actually be surprised if he doesn't catch on in New England...he's a Belichek player...maybe not the most physically talented...but any time he steps on the field...he is going to be one of the most intelligent players...and he's going to give you 100% out...

I have to agree with Meat. Good luck to him, but I doubt he will make any roster. It just always seemed that if there was a big passing play...it went right over top of Miller.

I think the Iowa defense might explode this year...and a large part of that is going to be Carl Davis. The dude is insane, and probably the best "physical" NFL DL prospect Iowa has had under Ferentz. He looks the part of an NFL Dlineman.

As a Bears fan...if we ever take a Hawkeye...I'll eat my hat. For some reason, since the mid to late 80's Chicago hates Hawkeyes.

We really have to give Gallery the benefit of the doubt...you could have put Jonathan Ogden out there in Oakland...and he may have washed out. When you have 6 coordinators and 7 line coaches in 8 years (or whatever it was)...you're facing an uphill battle. Robert's biggest mistake was not...

Exactly right on it is not the "Big Ten" any more. And sometimes I do wonder if we are headed towards a tipping point where college athletics as we know them will disappear. Everyone thought Delany was joking when he said he didn't believe school presidents would pay players and he could see...

I love it...I am really pumped up about this season...especially with the schedule...it could be a VERY fun one to be a Hawk fan. I really am getting the same feeling I had going into the 2009 season (except that year...when I told people that summer I thought Iowa would win the Big Ten...I got...

Yeah...I will be pretty sad when they get rid of the bowls...nothing would beat watching the Hawks kick off as the sun is setting in Pasadena, CA after watching the parade. The playoff is dumb...this whole push for "one true champ" is BS. Who cares...besides...in a one game playoff...you are...

Give me the Hawks in a Rose Bowl on new years day and I will be happy. I couldn't care less about the playoffs...

I read an article by SI I think...you think the BCS was a mess...just wait...instead of only undefeated teams having a legit gripe...we will now have probably 8-10 teams with a gripe. I don't understand the need to release weekly selection rankings...then start clean every week...This is going...

Well I think they have to film non-rev sports...I could be wrong but I thought I remembered reading there were commitments made to the "non-revenue" sports when the channel was founded (I'm probably wrong though, just vaguely remember something about that.

Jok had started to show flashes...and that UT game makes me believe he is the most naturally talented player on this team.

To be fair though...what kind of a person wouldn't rally behind someone who had a kid going through that? I mean it could be the person I despised most in the world...and if they were going through that...I would be the first person to put a shirt on and raise some money for them.

You're right...to a point...basically what the bundled cable model does...is taxes EVERYONE in the city of new york because Rutgers is near there. I would bet quite a large sum of money...that a VAST majority of new york subscribers couldn't care less about the Big Ten Network. Rutgers and...

I think many of you are blinded...Okeefe is actually being incredibly reasonable in this thread...the bundled cable model will be dead within a decade. Not to mention O'Bannon/others... That infinite cash cow that is collegiate broadcasting rights might not be around forever... I hate...

I loved the Nebraska addition...in my mind...they are about as Big Ten as you can get...but hated the Maryland and Rutgers additions...and hate them even more now. I am just going to try to pretend they are not part of the conference and treat the few Iowa vs Maryland or Rutgers games as OOC...

Okeefe...I'm not sure if you missed the memo or what...but...Northwestern is "Chicago's Big Ten Team"!! When the 'Cats play in the UC...the place is raucous...literally dozens of Northwestern fans are there.

Indy is literally the perfect place to host the Big Ten tourney...and selfishly...Chicago is about as close to that as you can get (although being only a short drive from IC helps that in my eyes). Dumb move by the Big Ten...and they're going to rotate for 10 years? ugh.
