This is interesting. I kinda like it too.


Only 22 of 130 NCAA FBS-level schools say they have plans to provide allowed academic bonus payments to athletes this year (espn.com)

I think it should be a priority for all Big Ten schools to implement this.

[847badgerfan]

Absolutely. It fits with the conference's values.

Oh no, the Sheavior

NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS
The game: Duke, September 9

RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS
The game: at Michigan State, November 11

ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI
The game: at Northwestern, November 25

MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS
The game: Rutgers, October 28

MARYLAND TERRAPINS
The game: Northwestern, October 21

INDIANA HOOSIERS

PURDUE BOILERMAKERS

WISCONSIN BADGERS
The game: New Mexico State, September 16

MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS
The game: at Maryland, September 30

NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS
The game: Illinois, October 28

After road games against Rutgers on October 6 and Purdue on October 14, Nebraska is going to be eager to return home and get a break. The Cornhuskers get their first bye week after that Purdue game and it will be much-needed. But while Nebraska has the week off before this Illinois game, it cannot afford to get too relaxed. If the Cornhuskers come out for that Illinois game not focused, they could suffer a bad loss.


OHIO STATE BUCKEYES
The game: at Maryland, November 18

MICHIGAN WOLVERINES
The game: Illinois, November 18

I agree with most of those, but didn't Michigan lose most of their defense from last year?  I know they made an incredible DC hire, but I have to imagine Iowa, Wisconsin, or someone else would be better.  If they are the best, then I don't know that the Big Ten will be very good on that side of the ball this year.

I do wish Stadium Bar was still there.  I think I actually like the PSU tailgate best now.

Been so long since I've been up there, I don't remember it closing.

I remember when in was Jingles. I liked that better. Jingle was a really cool old man.

Yes,some sources just throw shit against the wall hoping to garner clicks.Now "M" just might be all that but based on the Exodus on the Defensive side of the ball I'm guessing no.Even if they brought in equal talent to what left there's still the growth and experience thing
