I did this a while back with my favorite non-Hawkeye B1G football players. I don’t typically care for too many players that play for the bad guys, but through the years - I’ve been a B1G fan since 1980 - there have been some players who deserve a tip of the cap.
Illinois - This one was pretty tough. Illinois has had some excellent players, but I’m not a fan of Illinois basketball. I don’t dislike Stephen Bardo when he is announcing, and he was an excellent player. I will give the nod to Dee Brown (2002-06).
