Opinion: Big Ten swings and misses on a brand-damaging Monday, looking dumb and weak

INDIANAPOLIS — On Monday, the biggest day in college sports since the 2020 NCAA tournament was canceled in March, which was the biggest day in college sports since ever, nothing happened.

The Big Ten didn’t cancel the upcoming football season, as we were told it had. The Pac-12 didn’t follow and do the same, as we were told it would. No teams switched conferences. No players, far as we know anyway, entered the transfer portal.

Nothing happened on Monday.

Nothing, except for college players rising up as one and claiming ownership of a sport that has used them and abused them for the price of a scholarship.
