Let's quickly recap the past few weeks for the Big Ten: Iowa has a player arrested for running a drug house and school officials admit some Hawkeyes likely got around the school's drug-testing policies.Then on Thursday, six Ohio State players were suspended for selling more gear than a pawn shop. Quarterback Terrelle Pryor and running back Dan Herron were among the players suspended, starting next season. They also must repay money and benefits ranging in value from $1,000 to $2,500.
The school announced the repayments must be made to a charity. How about: "Little Sisters of the Poor?" I'm sure Ohio State president Gordon Gee would approve.
With all of the fine and upstanding student-athletes in the Big Ten, call me crazy, but I think Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany needs to reconsider and should keep the division names as "Legends" and "Leaders."
Despite the Ohio State suspensions, they will be allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl. While the Sugar Bowl is still more than a week away, here are this week's bowl selections (how's that for a transitional paragraph).
Reminder: Before the season, I was staked an imaginary $5,000 bankroll. Each week, "Cover Me" - at least that's the name tattooed on his arm - and I made our college football selections. We finished 20 games over .500 for an imaginary $1,050 profit.
For the bowl season, we decided to combine forces. We will pick each and every one of the 35 bowl games. In some bowls, we'll even provide our over/under selection. And as a special holiday treat, we've rated our picks from 1-to-4 stars with the 4-star, in theory, being the stronger pick. Point spreads from Wednesday's USA Today.
