The Longhorn Network to broadcast the high school football games of Texas recruits

Considering the turmoil and overall uncertainty of the Leaders Division, this is a great opportunity for Illinois to make a splash in the first year of the 12-team Big Ten. Ohio State will miss Pryor and Tressel and it may take a few games to sort out the quarterback situation. There's no shortage of talent in Columbus, but with all of the uncertainty surrounding the program, it may catch up to Ohio State in 2011. Wisconsin has emerged as the favorite in the Leaders division, thanks to landing NC State transfer Russell Wilson at quarterback. However, how long will it take Wilson to mesh with the offense? Penn State has the talent, but will the quarterback play or offensive line improve? With the question marks surrounding each of the schools, it wouldn't be a surprise to see any of the four teams play in the first Big Ten title game.
