While most of Big Ten Media Days is filled with coach speak and questions about the overall talent level of each team in the conference, I try to create a fun exercise for the players instead.
Last year, I asked all 42 athletes in attendance to try to draw their school’s primary logo from memory. Some of them weren’t very pretty. This time around, though, I handed every player a blank template and gave them the task of designing their team’s alternate uniform.
Some — admitting their lack of skill with a pen — declined to take part, while others either attempted to draw or simply gave instructions on what they’d like to see when it comes to colors and logos.
