The Big 10 should be embarrassed by this slate of games. I'd like to hear Cignetti talk about it.

The Big 10 rarely has more than a couple of good games, but DAMNED

Cignetti likes to talk a lot of sh*t but here’s his non-conference schedules the next few years. Embarrassing. He did great with a great qb & just a couple real games per year. But he wants no part of a sec type schedule.

Just makes Sankey look like a clown with our 9 game SEC schedule plus a P4 opponent every year while the B1G gets away with 3 cupcake OOC games.

Cignetti knows that there is zero incentive to schedule a good non conference team, so he doesn't do it.

Why go through the trouble of scheduling the cupcake games when those costs the university money? I’d much rather see an Illinois, Northwestern, TCU and the like be scheduled. The kids want to play NFL to get to the NFL so let’s start exchanging the cupcakes for the lower tier big boys.

I agree with him. Why hurt your chances at a playoff spot? You can get 2nd and 3rd stringers playing time.
