Big Ten Board (Beta)

“Look at the Wisconsin football thing, the quarterback (Wilson), come on. That was a joke. I don’t see anything good about it. It lends to tampering with AAU coaches and other people. If the guy is out there and he can help your team, you’re going to go get him and I would, too. But it’s absolutely wrong. The NCAA for some reason thinks that good for the student. But it’s not good for college football or college basketball.” -- Carmody.

--He is exactly right. Allowing kids to transfer in this manner is a crock! It invites abuse, is bad for the athletes at the school he transfers into (who was the QB that got screwed by Wilson's move at Wisconsin?), and is simply bad for college athletics.

...I think Tom Izzo is great-- but his actions speak louder than his words in this case. Coach Izzo, you can't have it both ways!

Good call, was not aware of that, thanks for the heads up!

What does Bo Ryan mean when he says that they have the youngest front line? Is he talking about playing time wise? Because Sullinger and Thomas are both sophomores for Ohio State, where Berggren is a junior.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown Steve.

The B1G is so good right now but they are also a very young conference. Great things to come!
