Big Ten
Big Ten Football: 10 impact freshmen to watch in 2016 " Big Ten Network
DB Lamar Jackson, Nebraska The Blackshirts’ defense is in need of more playmakers. Enter Lamar Jackson, a big, speedy defensive back who has the ability to play both corner and safety. Expect him to see the field as a true freshman and make his presence felt right away.
Indiana's best three football coaches ever are pretty obvious. Though it was ages ago (1934-1947), Bo McMillan gave Indiana its only outright Big Ten title in football, an undefeated season, and 10 winning seasons. Long ago or not, that's enough to be the best Hoosier football coach ever. The bar's not high, here.
Each week until the start of football season, we'll be going through Indiana's opponents one by one and looking at whatever we find interesting and/or hilarious about them.

A CHILDREN'S BOOK THAT PROBABLY IS NOT FOR CHILDREN
Not on sidelines, Art Briles looks to 'redefine' himself - Big 12 Blog- ESPN
"I'm dumbfounded and trying to process everything as it goes, but it is what it is," Briles said. "Reality is reality and so what I've got to do is redefine myself and start a new chapter. And that's what I'm doing."
He’s dumbfounded that he was fired. Sounds like a guy who understands what he did wrong and will work real hard to make sure it never happens again.
Owner Jerry Jones voiced his support for Art Briles on Tuesday, saying he believes the former Baylor coach will be back in football soon and adding that he would want his grandson to play for him.
Does Jerry Jones have any credibility for anyone but other rich white men? Maybe that’s all that matters.
It’s not a matter of whether Jerry would let his grandson play for Briles, it’s a matter of whether he would allow his granddaughter around his players on a constant basis.
