Very impressed with Darrell Hazell from his press conference. He's got a lot of work to do at Purdue, though.—

I’m definitely excited about next year’s football season. Boiler Up!!!
Really? This is it? This is all the coverage and analysis that this historic announcement gets? Starting at 8pm EST, we get 41 hours of consecutive programming without further comment, analysis, study, or thought from the conferences flagship network on this important news for Purdue, the conference, and the African American community? Pitiful. Step your game up BTN cuz right now u look pretty bush league by not cutting into recycled retread tired programming for something that is actually relevant and worth covering.
