Rest in Peace to the Big Ten Championship Game, Something We All Definitely Had the Chance to Experience

The announcement puts to rest a short-lived tradition that, thanks to the Big Ten West in particular, was SO accessible that surely everyone got a chance to compete in it.

Rest in Peace to the Big Ten Championship Game, Something We All Definitely Had the Chance to Experience

College football, in its death march toward meaninglessness, approved today a 24-team playoff that will be televised exclusively through ESPN and will eliminate the conference championship games.

This is fine, of course, because everyone got a chance to participate in the Big Ten's conference championship game – really, that thread had been played out.

Purdue competed in one. Northwestern appeared in two, the same number as Penn State, who we're hearing even won one!

Yes, the Big Ten Championship Game is dead – but guys, it's been A Thing since 2011. That's 15 years, and the Big Ten West was A Thing for ten of those years. If you wanted to participate in a Big Ten Championship Game, by now, surely you've gotten the chance to do so.

I mean, even Purdue made one, you guys.


Anyway, since we all have so many fond memories of our teams competing in the Big Ten Championship Game, let's share those memories. Tell us about the time your team appeared in the B1GCG.

And again, I'd really make sure we hear from everyone – so please, do step up.
