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.

- Is there a sport that Wisconsin doesn’t take the best athletes from Minnesota and make them into a Badger?

- WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW THEN, RALPH!?!?
If Penn State and Wisconsin are ranked close, let's say 10 and 11, and both are assured of getting a NY6 bid does that give the Rose cover to select Wisconsin, because PSU has been in the Rose more recently? Penn State gets Cotton or Orange? Maybe?

Don't know.
We don't know.
- The Badgers had three All-Americans as chosen by the coaches. I’m pretty sure Jordyn Bloomer could stop me from watching Real Housewives of Dallas. That’s how good she is at stopping people from doing things.
