Who AREN'T the all-time Big Ten icons?
Mike Hlas Feb. 15, 2011 2:15 pm
OK, Red Grange, Magic Johnson, Archie Griffin, Jesse Owens, Tom Harmon, Nile Kinnick, etc. The Big Ten Network has been counting down the conference's top 50 icons of all-time. Fine.
But who from conference history aren't iconic? Only athletes were counted in the Big Ten's icons. But I'll open up Big Ten Non-Icons to everyone affiliated with the conference, and I mean everyone. Coaches, athletic directors, university presidents, conference commissioners, TV executives, media -- everyone.
I'll submit a few to get this started, then you can take over.
1. Bob Knight's chair
2. Woody Hayes' forearm
3. The Minnesota basketball players who went all-thug against Ohio State in 1972
