the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

| 39 weeks 1 day ago | No, they changed that rule |
You can be on a scholarship now if you transfer within the Big Ten. The new "punishment" is that the year you have to sit out counts against your eligibility. In other words, you can't use the sit out year as a redshirt year. |
| 1 year 10 weeks ago | Yep this is true |
see this press release from Minnesota in regards to their RB Kirkwood, which frankly only raises more question about the current situation
http://www.gophersports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/011911aaa.html
"University of Minnesota running back Donnell Kirkwood has been granted a medical hardship waiver by the Big Ten Conference. Kirkwood's participation in the 2010 season will not count against him and he will have four seasons of eligibility remaining. "This is great news for Donnell and for our football program," head coach Jerry Kill said. "We're happy for him and we appreciate all those who assisted in getting the waiver approved." Kirkwood rushed for 107 yards on 27 carries, averaging 4.0 yards per carry, early in the 2010 season before missing the remainder of the year with a leg injury. -UM- "

No he did not visit No, he is no longer an optin for UM Rivals and Scout suggest this was UM's decision |

who I believe just got a nice little pay raise. That article is from January. But he is under consideration for the Akron HC job.

Lloyd Carr is solely responsible for Nick Moore catching 20 passes against Michigan and Steve Threet's pick 6.

| 1 year 22 weeks ago | Just for clarification |
this incident occurred two years ago when Gibbons was a Freshman, but was never identified at the time. Although, it was strongly rumored to be him. Article on arrest: http://annarbor.com/news/university-of-michigan-student-arrested-after-r... Also, here's the writeup on the actual comments by Mr. Smith "In 2009, a UM football player and field goal kicker, Brendan Gibbons was arrested for allegedly http://annarborchronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Comments-for-the... *********** With all of the being said, I would still be in favor of just locking but not deleting this thread. Hopefully the comments will remain level headed |

calling Terrelle Pryor on his way out the door at West Virginia. RR was recruiting during that time |
| 1 year 23 weeks ago | Short answer |
is yes it's possible and yes it's financially better to be IU during bowl season, especially in the Big 10 where it's basically an even split |

Do you have a link for that? Either way it wouldn't matter because Kirkwood got his in January of this year following the 2010 season, the same time that Gardner could have gotten his |
| 1 year 28 weeks ago | I think people should prepare |
I think people should prepare themselves for the very real possibility that Devin is not getting his redshirt. This theory that this decided after eligibility is exhausted is not true. It is only true for people trying to get a sixth year (like Case Keenum), not just a generic medical redshirt. Now I'm no expert on the NCAA/Big Ten rulebook but here are some examples:
Junior Hemingway: http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/hemingway_junior00.html "Sophomore (2008) ... received medical redshirt ... played in four games and made one start at wide receiver ..."
Donnell Kirkwood (RB Minn): http://www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/114249984.html "Kirkwood had 50 yards against Middle Tennessee State that night, but the 18-yard gain was his biggest of the season. He didn't carry the ball again after straining his right hamstring on Sept. 25, just four games into the regular season. As a result, the NCAA has restored a year of eligibility for the 19-year-old tailback, allowing him to play four more seasons at Minnesota."
So, these are just two quick examples of people being granted medical redshirts after their Freshman and Sophomore.

| 1 year 28 weeks ago | As everyone else said it's conference record |
that determines the divisional standings. Division record is the second tie break. So currently as it stands, Nebraska and Iowa actually control their own destiny and MSU and Michigan need help.

|
| 1 year 33 weeks ago | No I get that they're dependent on each other |
and that Denard's struggles are affecting the WR. |
| 1 year 33 weeks ago | It's not just the games |
but the pre-season practice reports were not glowing of the wr corps either. The point is I think the staff has weighed the relative need of taking a second DT versus getting skill positions on offense and determined that those skill positions are a more pressing need given the play to date and the current makeup of the recruiting class. I'm not sure I disagree with them, if that is indeed the case. Or perhaps this is all spin out of Webb and O'Brien simply was never going to go to Michigan, which is certainly possible. |
| 1 year 33 weeks ago | "I dont think O'brien adds as |
"I dont think O'brien adds as much to that as, say, Darboh would add to our WR situation. " I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head here. The complete lack of an emergence of a go to WR and RB has played a big role in this, in my opinion. |

"Apparently the Big 10 is working with Nebraska to facilitate entrance into the AAU." Nebraska was in the AAU at the time of their admittance and then schools like Michigan and Wisconsin voted them out of the AAU. So not sure the above statement is particularly accurate. |

than OU-Nebraska especially since the Big 12 killed it |
| 1 year 35 weeks ago | So |
Michigan's defense and offense need a lot of work regardless of the outcome of the ND game? Thanks OSU article writer guy. |
| 1 year 35 weeks ago | He's been wrong on a bunch of stuff |
Here's one example: ChipBrownOB Chip Brown There is no truth to reports that Texas A&M will join the SEC in the spring of 2012. None. #A&M #Aggies#big12 #cfb For all the Aggies wondering who my sources are on this, they are sources at the highest level of your school. |

| 1 year 38 weeks ago | I prefer watching premier league |
but that's just me. They have games now early on Saturday/Sunday mornings on ESPN2 and then FSC, so it's usually always on. The Champions League is more of a tournament than an actual league, in my view. The games are usually during the week as opposed to league games on the weekend.

Brady hoke is the coach of the University of Michigan, Rich Rodriguez is not. Perhaps you can show a little more respect to the coach of the team you say you cheer for. |
