Good morning! This is going to be a daily(ish) post that discusses the goings on of the rest of the Big Ten Conference, and the country as needed. Much like the European Union, the Big Ten is a loosely confederated group of entities that sometimes have the same goals (like free movement of people between countries or not winning national titles in football or basketball) and sometimes accept new members that they later regret (Estonia or Rutgers).
We hope that you will use this post to comment on things happening around the conference and also as a sort of daily open thread to discuss breaking news or argue about Spotted Cow.

- Cole Caufield is straight up lighting the lamp with shocking regularity for the US Junior team.

- All four Badgers (Caufield, K’Andre Miller, Ty Emberson and Alex Turcotte) that attend camp for the US Junior team made the final cut.
First time since 1984 (Jim Johannson, Gary Suter, Marty Wiitala, @TonyGranato) that 4️⃣ Badgers will play at World Juniors. https://t.co/5REZino6SG

- I’d argue you should just make the team out of entirely Josh Gasser but I might be biased.

- Once the season is over we’ll have some NFL Draft coverage, but it’s nice to see Zack Baun already getting some love from draftniks.
Heard Todd McShay say he wouldn't be surprised if Zack Baun was a late first-round pick. What a season that kid had. Was great to see him finally stay healthy.

- It is nice to see the women’s hoops team have some young pieces that are fitting into place to hopefully turn into a competitive team in the B1G.

Talked to #Badgers coach Paul Chryst about future of WR Quintez Cephus - NFL or come back to UW. 1) Cephus loves his teammates and is having a blast. 2) He listens to sound as vice. 3) WR class coming out is LOADED. #clues

- Is Ayo Dosunmu ruining his draft stock or is Illinois squandering its chance?
