Every time we line up outside our conference, obviously, we’re representing ourselves and our institution, but we’re representing this league. That’s important to us.” Lynch seeking student support Indiana head football coach Bill Lynch seemed to have taken a page from Iowa men’s basketball coach Todd Lickliter’s playbook from last January, going to fraternities and sororities across the Bloomington campus to drum up support for the Hoosiers as Lickliter did for the Hawkeyes. “The sororities were a lot better than the fraternities,” Lynch said jokingly. “It was kind of a goodwill tour of going out and also listening to them about what we can do from a game day experience that would interest them and have them come to games.” JoePa in the spotlight, again Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno skipped offering opening comments and went straight to fielding questions from reporters when he walked to the microphone. The most laughter of the day came when Paterno, with the longest coaching tenure in the Big Ten, was asked to defend Penn State’s scheduling of eight home games. In his response, the 82-year-old cracked a joke about Twitter.
