College Sports and the Big Ten Options

I am pretty sure that most will not care, but the Big Ten is sucking at major sports this year. Michigan loses to Appalachian State in football earlier this year, a Division I-AA team. Now Michigan State loses to Grand Valley State, a Division II team, in basketball. In addition, Division II Findlay defeated Ohio State in basketball also. The basketball games are exhibition, so they do not count in the standings, but what happened to the time when the Big Ten was dominant at most sports. At least the Big Ten still has field hockey, volleyball, and wrestling.

But the Big Ten is still a power conference. Should Ohio State be penalized for being the best team in a conference that is having a down year? If that's true, then Kansas should be penalized for playing in the Big 12 North and Boston College and Virginia Tech should be in trouble for playing in the ACC. Everyone hates on the Big Ten now because it has been such a power in the past, and will rise again in the future. People know that this is one of the few chances to get in shots. I mean, for three of the top four teams in the Big Ten, this year was supposed to be a rebuilding year. The Big Ten shall rise again...
