ESPN puts out their piece about replacing first-round NFL talent and I'm sitting here watching the draft coverage wondering when. The Big Ten officiating has been a consistent issue for us going on three seasons now and nobody wants to have that conversation. I watched the replay of our game against Ohio State last November again last week and I still can't get. Their offensive tackle had our edge rusher in a headlock on third and long and the flag stayed in the pocket. That's not sour grapes that's just wathing the tape with your own eyes. Spring practice is the time when everybody talks about development and next man up but what good is developing elite. We sent multiple defensive players to the league this draft year and every single one of them had to play. The Big Ten office sends out those weekly explainer videos and they never address the consistency issues. It's always about their process and how they review things internally. I'm not saying the fix is easy but when you watch SEC games and see how much more contact is. Our guys have to adjust to a different standard every time we play a non-conference opponent and then come back. The new NIL revenue sharing model is going to level the financial playing field but nobody is talking about the.
