Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune has reported that the proposed Big Ten bowl game at Chicago’s Wrigley Field is evidently dead- for now. The major sticking point seems to be agreeing upon the level of team to play in the game was a hurdle that the conference and the Cubs organization could not overcome. The Cubs want the game to be a higher tier game than the conference is willing to provide.
According to Greenstein, the Cubs want the game to be with the #3 or #4 team in the conference.
