âI regret the language I used in my email exchange with other Big Ten chancellors, which appears as though I intended to use the Big Ten board portal to skirt my public records responsibilities,â Blank said in a statement to the Wisconsin State Journal. âThis was surely not my intention and I apologize for that appearance.â
