This is an opinion piece.

The NFL of college football. That was the phrase of the day Wednesday at Big Ten Media Days. Those were the curious words Nebraska coach Matt Rhule chose to describe a conference that’s now so vast it needs two Hollywood Squares grids of three down and three across to fit the logos of all 18 members.

Mock that classic game show flashback if you like, but it fits. Hollywood is now in the Big Ten footprint.
