Big Ten Board (Beta)

Bielema talking about players he brought to media days, jokes that Montee Ball has had a name change (was introduced as Mon-tay Ball), he returns as highest voting Heisman player from last year. Says he'd like to coach a Heisman winner.

Talking about Danny O'Brien "everybody is excited about him coming through, he's a great kid, real upside to Danny's situuation iis Kirk Phillips has come off ACL surgery and we have competition." Stave also in the mix.

On losing Casey Dean off OL due to injury (apologize if some names misspelled), talks about how Wisconsin's OL depth has always been there "We have guys who have never started a game who can play at that level."

It will be a challenge for us to find the 5 best guys"

On recruiting PSU players "It is a very unprecedented situation ... I made the decision as the head coach that we would not reach out to any Penn State players."

Notes that he and Fitz are No. 2 for coaching tenure behind Ferentz.

"Neat thing to bring (3 new coaches) into the league and compete against new schemes."

Hope says Purdue will follow NCAA rules re PSU players and do whatever they can to improve their football program, also talking about 2 ineligible teams

"It may be an easier road, but we have to grasp the idea that you have to win."

Anybody knows when Michigan State will be next?

When does Dantonio talk? TIA

"I am honored to be here representing the Big Ten Conference and Ohio State."

Says he is looking forward to starting camp next Friday.

"I like our players. We had a conditioning test our players are telling me about. Our energy is high and we are excited to get going."

Dantonio goes at 2:15 eastern

"We will line up and try to win every game we play."
