Phil Steele's All-Big Ten teams
via PhilSteele.com
9 of the 12 Big Ten teams have at least one 1st-Team selection on my Preseason All-Big 10 Team. 2x defending champ Wisconsin leads the way with seven 1st-team selections while Michigan St, Nebraska and Ohio St each have four 1st-Team players. The Spartans actually lead the way with an overall 16 players followed by Ohio St who has 15.
Delany trails Scott in compensation
via USAToday.com
In 2010, his first full year as the Pacific-12 Conference's commissioner, Larry Scott earned nearly $1.9 million in salary and bonuses. That is more than three times his predecessor's final full-year compensation and more than any other major-college conference commissioner got in 2010, a USA TODAY Sports analysis of conference tax records shows.
Who are the Big Ten's coaching villains?
via ESPN.com
Every good conference boasts some coaching villains, and the Big Ten has several men who fill the role. No one will confuse the Big Ten with the SEC, where all 12 coaches have voodoo dolls of one other and dart boards with their opponents' heads as the bull's-eyes.
SEC-Big 12 bowl game breathes new life into plus-one
via TheGazette.com
Last week’s announcement of a Big 12-SEC “Champions” bowl game means the plus-one postseason system has risen from the ash heap of college football history. It also could render all four-team playoff talk moot by next month.
Michigan's Hoke can't ignore Michigan State's winning streak
via MLive.com
Michigan State’s four-game football winning streak against Michigan is embedded in the cultural psyche for the Spartans. It came up last month when Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio told ESPN.com, "We've beat Michigan the last four years. So where's the threat?"
Analyzing Big Ten schedules for 2015, 2016
via ESPN.com
The Big Ten on Monday released the league schedules for the 2015 and 2016 football seasons. These schedules were approved last Tuesday by the league's athletic directors at the spring meetings. Unlike the 2013 and 2014 seasons, which have two separate start dates to league play, the 2015 and 2016 slates both have all 12 teams kicking off conference games on the first Saturday of October.
Technology helps Illinois' early recruiting
via ESPN.com
Five Big Ten head coaches have official Twitter accounts, but none other uses it as consistently as new Illinois boss Tim Beckman. If there aren't a few tweets sent out from Beckman's account (@coachbeckman) every morning between 6-8 a.m. -- with several exclamation points included -- someone should probably call for a wellness check. Twitter is just one of several tech tools Beckman and his staff use to connect with fans and recruits.
Shatel: Rookie in strange new land of the Big Ten
via Omaha.com
I wouldn't know an Oaken Bucket if it fell out of the Indiana sky and clobbered me upside the head. I don't know where to stay next fall in Columbus, Ohio. I can't remember if it's Champaign or Champagne, Ill. And I couldn't pick the Heroes Game Trophy out of a lineup with the Rolling Stones.
Woodson: Michigan’s turnaround is unbelievable
via Omaha.com
The great ones get frustrated, too. During the Rich Rodriguez era of Michigan football, when the program was spinning its wheels or backsliding, one of the best players in U-M history had moments when he had to turn off the games.
