The Wisconsin Badgers’ Breakthrough

0 comments by on 9/3/2016

Two years ago the Wisconsin Badgers controlled the first half against an LSU team that was thought to have far more talent than the team from the brats and beer belt. And then things turned south faster than a snowbird trying to beat a snowstorm in early winter as the Tigers wrestled the game away […]

Urban Meyer, a superstar head coach and a national figure in college football, spoke at Big Ten Media Days on Monday in Chicago. Big Ten Network did not provide live coverage of his session with the media. ESPN deserves plenty of criticism for how it elevates the SEC and undercuts the levels of exposure it gives to conferences such as the ACC and Big 12. However, when BTN can’t provide live coverage of Meyer, Mark Dantonio, and the coaches of its other big-name programs, the collection of factors that feed into conference bias becomes a lot more complicated. It’s not just about ESPN loving the SEC too much; it’s about BTN and Pac-12 Networks being markedly inadequate when covering their own conferences. Conference bias is, in other words, a two-way street and a multi-source problem. ESPN’s competitors have to do a better job.

Each Big Ten Team’s Bowl Storyline

0 comments by on 12/10/2015

Bowl season is upon us, and a whopping ten teams from the Big Ten are going bowling. Granted, two of them finished the season 5-7, but that’s a sad topic for another day. A bowl game means more practice time, more game film, and an ability to end the season on a high note. Each […]
