Looks about right although I'd say it's a coin flip between OSU and PSU.
I could see a three way tie on top of the East with MSU winning at home over OSU, OSU winning at PSU, and PSU winning at home against MSU; but that would require a huge leap in production from Lewerke and the MSU offense. Michigan should be interesting with whatever happens with Patterson and if they can figure out how to get the offensive line to block someone.

Jim Harbaugh reveals the donor who paid for last year's football team trip to Italy and this year's trip to France.

https://www.freep.com/story/sports/...jim-harbaugh-donors-european-trips/572351002/


It is Michigan graduate and CEO of video game company Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick.

So, all you Buckeyes and Spartans fans who play games such as Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Skylanders, Destiny, World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, Candy Crush, etc. can rest assured your $$$ is going towards a worthy cause supporting the Michigan football program.

Don't play any of those games but even if I did I would just laugh at all the money spent for that fabulous season they had last year

How do we get Illinois and Rutgers out of the black hole of suckage. They are consistently trash. Same goes with Maryland. At least Indiana and Purdue are making a clear effort to be better and have fielded competitive teams. Northwestern puts out good teams for goodness sake, don’t tell me they can’t.

Illinois needs a complete and total overhail. Lovie clearly isn't working.

Rutgers, I have no idea. They're just in a bad spot. NJ has become a pipeline state for Alabama, OSU, and michigan, which sucks because they routinely have top end talent.

My belief is it starts with the schools administration taking athletics seriously. Until they do, they'll continue to hire crappy ADs, who will hire stop gap coaches, who will recruit marginal D1 players, etc, etc, etc.

The boosters should be pounding on the administrations door to get them to take athletics, especially revenue generating, seriously.

I just don't understand what happened with Illinois though. A decade ago, they were coming off of a BCS bowl birth in football and finishing 3rd in the B1G in basketball. Both programs have absolutely collapsed.

Change of ADs, change of coaches and change of attitude. They don't care, they just want to add cash to the coffers and don't care about being competitive, other than lip service.
