“W e care about what happens at the stadium as well and what happens on campus. But if you look at it, it’s an opportunity to get programs to showcase them as they build in matchups.” — Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti, July 23 “I t’s a blemish. It’s nothing I’ve ever done before, to be minus 17. We gave the ball away 31 times. We only took it away 14.
