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.

- Matt and Tyler both attended the seventh practice of Wisconsin’s fall camp on Thursday. Read Matt’s offensive review and Tyler’s defensive review and be the smartest person in your Badgers group text.
- Getting to the quarterback is going to be key for the Badgers this year. Zack Baun should help.

- I’ve never been to a college wrestling match but one time during March Madness some guys showed up at a party we were having and tried to change the channel from basketball to wrestling. I didn’t like them, but wrestling is ok.

- Tough luck for D’Cota Dixon, but this does mean he gets a guaranteed salary this year!
The Bucs have signed guard Salesi Uhatafe and have placed safety D'Cota Dixon on injured reserve. Dixon was having a heck of a camp. "[He's] smart [and] tough," Bruce Arians said when I asked him about Dixon earlier in camp. "[He's] really got a chance... https://t.co/VoVxRvc7xb
