Northwestern and UCLA beating Penn State goes to show just how deep and competitive the B1G truly is.

Yep…NIL $ will do that.
And injuries, media and fans are completely oblivious to team depth and injuries. They will just push aside that a team is missing both of its corners due to injury, or has 3 backups on the offensive line. Then they will act like the other team is dominating with 7 sacks or the coaches need to scheme something up. The only time you hear about injuries is when the qb is hurt, but teams lose tons of guys, even live in a game, and it is just minimized. In the NIL era you can't pay depth so your backups are playing for free and are either very young or bad.

I think this is a reflection of Penn St.’s implosion……
No kidding. Penn State loses at home to a team that was curb-stomped by 20 points at Tulane, right after losing to a team that lost to Utah, New Mexico and UNLV by a collective score of 108-43. But yeh, it MUST be an indication of how deep the might Big Ten is.
