Big Ten Media Days are later this week, and that means we get generic quote after generic quote from coaches and players. The only true value you get from it is the roundtable interviews, otherwise it is all televised and if you're in attendance it is a chance to travel and get free food on you company's dime.
That last part is why we won't be there this year, because it costs money and vacation days from the real job to go to Chicago for two days.
We will still be covering things, however, and if there are going to be generic, canned quotes we might as well have some fun with it.
