Just as we’re running Olympic Journals from our Big Ten names like our U.S. swimmers, our Team Burundi long-distance runner, and our French swimmer, our friends at NUsports.com are publishing posts from Wildcats head wrestling coach Drew Pariano, and we’ll be sharing those here, too. Pariano and associate head coach Tim Cysewski head to London to support Northwestern graduate and U.S. wrestler Jake Herbert as he competes in the the 84 kg freestyle division. In Pariano’s first entry, he explains how Northwestern helped Herbert prepare.

Northwestern received good news Tuesday from the NCAA, which ruled USC transfer receiver Kyle Prater will be eligible to play this fall.

We’d seen Michigan’s 2012 Sugar Bowl rings online well before Big Ten Media Days last week in Chicago. And now we’ve seen them in-person. Take it from us, they are impressive – not to mention rather big. Michigan safety Jordan Kovacs proudly wore the ring on his right ring finger throughout the two-day event. See a close-up picture of the hardware Michigan earned with its victory over Virginia Tech in this post.

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, and it’s time for the best daily links from across the Big Ten.
