These coaches begging for a 24-team playoff at Big Ten meetings just tells me they never sat through the 1993 season when we went 10-1-1 and still had to earn our Rose Bowl spot the old fashioned way. Every game mattered back then, every snap meant something. Now they want to let everybody in so nobody has to feel left out. This is how the sport loses its soul. We used to fight for every inch and that is what made us Wisconsin.
