Big Ten punishment for Michigan in its sign-stealing scandal is pending, but the expected suspension of coach Jim Harbaugh would not be enough. The No. 3-ranked Wolverines should be disqualified from selection to the College Football Playoff

No. 3 Purdue spent eight long months trying to flush the bitter taste from last year’s shocking first-round NCAA Tournament exit. When their chance finally arrived Monday, the Boilermakers sent a quick, strong message: They're back and they might be even better than last year’s Big Ten regular season and tourney champs. Zach Edey opened the season with 16 points and 11 rebounds, Camden Heide added 13 points and Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer combined for half of the 16 3-po...

The Gophers have played three-fourths of their regular season and find themselves in an odd position with nine games completed. They've yet to qualify for a bowl game.

Purdue coach Matt Painter could have spent this past offseason shrugging off another stunning NCAA Tournament exit. Instead, he and the Boilermakers owned it. From the moment Painter and Virginia coach Tony Bennett traded postgame text messages, Painter and the third-ranked Boilermakers knew the endless questions about their historic first-round loss to 16th-seeded Fairleigh Dickinson would follow them wherever they went.

Jim Harbaugh insists he has a one-track mind, focused only on helping No. 2 Michigan chase a national championship. “I just channel my inner William Wallace,” said Harbaugh, referring to the 13th century Scottish independence hero who is played in the 1995 movie “Braveheart" by Mel Gibson. The Wolverines (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) have overcome potential distractions to win every game by at least 20 points this season and they're expected to win big again against Purdue ...
