I did not read, my husband did. He said it felt personal, like the commissioner is saying I must protect the conference from these terrible people. First, do others on here agree with his impression? Second, how did this happen? How did we become the evil empire? I know from my years of watching M football the fan bases hate us-they want us to fail. We are everyone’s big game. But we weren’t dirty, etc. We’ve been a good Big Ten partner, I think. I know Jim can be polarizing but that shouldn’t be enough for this narrative that we are a dangerous crooked team. Are our enemies really so skillful at spinning the narrative?
