Ohio State Plans To stiffen Non-Conference Scheule By Playing Online Schools.

Columbus,Ohio

Frustrated with the criticism that they play a weak non conference schedule, Urban Meyer announced today that his Buckeye team will schedule online universities next year.

"It's just something that's been in the works for a while." Meyer said at a press conference Tuesday. "We get knocked a lot because we play in the Big 10, we can't control who we play within conference but we can definitely control our non-conference opponents.

The Buckeyes agreed to a five year deal with the WWW conference, rotating the teams they play each year. The fledgling WWW conferences' members  include ITT Tech, The University of Phoenix and ECPI. The teams combined for a 0-0 record last year.

"We will be facing the best competition non conference available. I mean come on Larry Fitzgerald plays for them, Shaquille Oneal is the Quarterback."

It remains to be seen if the games will be played on the field or online.

Orange Bowl Rep tells NIU that they never wanted them there in the first place.

 What the hell is wrong with the people associated with the Orange bowl? First whoever is running their Twitter account gets into a Twitter scuffle and later poked fun at West Virgina's bowl misfortunes. 

Now this via:CBS Sports:

You guys [NIU] don't even deserve to be here,” the Orange Bowl rep said to the NIU staffer. “We didn't even want you here.”

According to a source, the exchange took place the other night in a hospitality suite. The Orange Bowl rep had compared NIU to Duke, the source said, and the NIU rep responded by pointing out that the Huskies, who are riding a 12-game winning streak, have been to bowl games in five consecutive seasons. The conversation escalated from there, the source said.

Kickoff is 8:30 tonight on ESPN, should be fun.
