Big Ten was a big disappointment in the Frozen Four (NCAA Hockey tournament) as well. Placed 4 teams in the 16 team tournament (out of a 7 team conference): Michigan and Notre Dame (yes, ND is in the Big Ten for Hockey) had to pull out due to COVID, Overall fourth sed Wisconsin lost to Bemidji State 6-3 in the first round (Bemidji State then lost 4-0 to UMass), Minnesota lost to Minnesota State 4-0 in the Quarter Finals/Second Round. Frozen Four Trivia: The state of Minnesota will have three teams in the Frozen Four: Minnesota State, Minnesota-Duluth, St. Cloud State. The last time that one state had three teams in the Frozen Four was in 1992 when Michigan was represented by Michigan, Michigan State, and ultimate NCAA Champion Lake Superior State (all three teams were in the CCHA at the time).
Big Flop? Really? So now we are degrading Student Athletes with “Big Flop”? How many teams didn’t make it to the Tournament. Are they just useless human beings? Time for some new terminology to be more positive and not trying to kick someone when they are already down.
If college athletes want to get paid like professionals then they better learn to handle very mild criticism like “big flop”. The D1 NCCA men’s bball tournament is the biggest stage in college athletics so wear your big boy pants or stay home.
Nobody is calling them failures as a person or kicking them when they are down. The article was an honest assessment of performance by the B10.
David, did your 4th mask fall off while you were typing that snowflake rant?
Why not call it what it was – definitely a BIG FLOP.
If the Big10 hadn’t boasted all season about being the best in the nation, it might not be considered a flop; however, now we know they were overrated all season long.
@David: Would you prefer lining up all of the players of the losing teams after each game and have some NCAA official pin a green ribbon on their uniforms so they can get an official “I participated!” acknowledgement as a consolation prize?
