8 Rutgers players arrested.
August 26th, 2018 at 6:10 PM ^
So they can’t join our new conference?
August 26th, 2018 at 6:27 PM ^
Us and Northwestern.
August 26th, 2018 at 6:51 PM ^
Iowa, Wisc, Nebraska, Illinois, and Purdue too...
August 26th, 2018 at 8:12 PM ^
We form the Big 2 conference. Maybe even welcome University of Chicago back into the fold.
August 27th, 2018 at 7:54 AM ^
Be careful what you wish for. 8 of the players from U Chicago are being investigated for insider trading.
August 27th, 2018 at 9:28 AM ^
That's sooooo U of C!
August 27th, 2018 at 11:37 AM ^
No, because they've automatically been moved to the SEC East.
August 26th, 2018 at 6:12 PM ^
Link?
August 26th, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
Link posted below, actual announcement took place on August 22nd!

Oh boy, to quote the Kenny Roger's Chicken episode, that's not going to be good for business.
August 26th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
That's not going to be good for anybody.
(Yet another scandal in the Big Ten East. Yay!)
August 26th, 2018 at 6:13 PM ^
Only 8?
August 26th, 2018 at 6:15 PM ^
This seems unfair. It’s not a crime to suck at football
August 26th, 2018 at 8:02 PM ^
Normally I’d agree, but have you seen them play?
it might be a crime against humanity.
August 26th, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
Rutgers is so bad that losing 8 scholarship players might actually make them better...
August 26th, 2018 at 6:18 PM ^
And then there were two. Bring it on IU.
August 27th, 2018 at 7:00 AM ^
Well, you could argue that hiring Mike DeBord to "revamp" Kevin Wilson's offense is a crime in itself....
August 26th, 2018 at 6:18 PM ^
The B1G East is exceptional at many things.
August 26th, 2018 at 6:20 PM ^
Unfortunately, police reports and investigations aren't badges of honor!
August 26th, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
B1G...leaders and legends!
This conference is/has become a joke.
What a shame UM is associated with it!
#getoutUM
August 26th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
Where could a good option be? I guess the big 12 matches the most sense, but they're not exactly known for academic prowess. Im not opposed to dipping out on the big 10 at this point.
August 26th, 2018 at 6:33 PM ^
The ACC. Specifically to piss off Notre Dame.
August 26th, 2018 at 6:54 PM ^
I propose a new conference that takes academics (and integrity) seriously:
East Division
Michigan, Notre Dame, Boston College, Pitt, Vanderbilt, Northwestern
West Division
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Purdue, Indiana, Minnesota
August 26th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
Interesting. I like that idea.
August 26th, 2018 at 7:20 PM ^
Sure you do! That's the only way ichigan could win the East.
August 26th, 2018 at 7:28 PM ^
What's it like having a liar as a HC and harboring a wife abusing sociopath on staff for a decade?
August 26th, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
All coaches have dirt, some more than others though. While Zach has some issues, he has never been charged with DV.
August 26th, 2018 at 9:28 PM ^
some dirt? maybe. but your school is really a joke, a sad joke, but a joke nevertheless. its a disgrace to our conference and people like you who revel in its corrupt ethics are equally to blame. shame on you. go post somewhere else. get a life that includes morals and then come back and have interesting and civil discussions.
August 27th, 2018 at 9:47 AM ^
Zach has NEVER been charged with DV. LOOK IT UP. ScUM is far from clean.
August 27th, 2018 at 3:22 PM ^
sure sign of winning an argument: the loser resorts to name calling. really low-brow name calling at that.
myer lied. repeatedly. myer's program at florida made miami (YTM) look almost like choir boys. ohio has the band molester. then they have the wrestler molester. they have tressel who was so dirty he was like a caricature of a dirty coach. and don't believe us 'scum' types, believe maurice clarrett, a favored son in ohio. and now they have years of DV and lies. and deleted texts. and more lies and fake apologies.
your whole school should be de-certified as an NCAA institution. you should go somewhere else and better yourself. just a friendly suggestion.
August 26th, 2018 at 10:17 PM ^
Some coaches have 30+ player arrests and players implicated in drive by shootings then fake heart conditions and leave a program in shambles too. Oh wait!
August 26th, 2018 at 11:02 PM ^
Neither was my POS stepdad, but that didn't mean he wasn't guilty of it.
I can only hope Zach gets the same payback: 2 bullets to the scrotum.
August 26th, 2018 at 11:03 PM ^
It’s really sad Buckeye fans are trying to view this whole incident through the lens of Zach Smith being the only problem. Urban, Gene Smith, and the Board of Trustees have all shown a complete lack of morals and strength throughout this. If there was an ethics professor on campus, I’m sure he or she is applying to other schools as we speak.
August 26th, 2018 at 11:49 PM ^
Hey Wyandot, if you're beaten up and you are pressured from the bully's family and employer to drop the charges, does that mean you weren't beaten up?
August 26th, 2018 at 8:56 PM ^
I fucked your o last night.
August 26th, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
Good for you!
August 26th, 2018 at 10:58 PM ^
WBF, I think I speak for all the rational MGoBlog faithful here, when I say, Fuck off.
August 27th, 2018 at 9:50 AM ^
Not a chance.
August 26th, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
Illinois and Indiana both recently had player abuse scandals resulting in coaching changes. I would skip them, move ND and NW west, then add UVA and either Duke or GT to the east. And that would be a downright amazing conference, athletically and academically.
August 26th, 2018 at 7:25 PM ^
nwest and BC were involved in some of the biggest point shaving scams in history
August 26th, 2018 at 8:16 PM ^
Solid proposal.
August 26th, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
So Wisconsin continues to win the West now and forevermore.
August 26th, 2018 at 10:54 PM ^
You might have to nix Minnesota, they've had their own issues. More basketball than football, but still...
August 26th, 2018 at 6:56 PM ^
I know being in a conference is better but going independent would be better if this crap in the B1G continues. If your good then things will take care of itself. The major obstacle is obviously revenue, but this conference is on the verge of telling the Big12( Baylor) to hold my beer and watch this, if not already. Texas and Oklahoma are solid national programs/brands, a sharp decline after those two but still somewhat respectful. ijohnb has a good idea...anything to piss off ND.
August 26th, 2018 at 7:05 PM ^
Whats the over under on how long it takes the talking heads to start blaming the NCAA for not paying kids?
August 26th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
Thanks Delaney.
They suck at crime ALMOST as bad as they suck at Football.
Becoming an Independent is starting to look pretty good to me. The Big East is looking pretty shitty.
August 26th, 2018 at 7:21 PM ^
Rename the Fulmer Cup to the B1G Ten East Cup!
August 26th, 2018 at 7:27 PM ^
Following in the tradition of Doug Gottlieb.
