On Saturday morning, a tweet went viral from Unnecessary Roughness that was taken from ESPN’s Sportscenter with Scott Van Pelt about his opinion of Big Ten talks to start the fall season around Thanksgiving or January.
Van Pelt felt that it was pointless to start at the midpoint of the season for other conferences like the SEC, ACC, and Big 12 that are planning to start in late September. He went on to say that the Big Ten would not have a chance to compete for the National Championship and that the only trophies to be seen in the Big Ten would be from rivalry games.

Some Wisconsin players like Eric Burrell, Adam Bay, and Faion Hicks really empathized with Van Pelt’s viewpoint, and have tweeted in support of his perspective.
