Good for Ferentz, I hope he stays at Iowa as long as Hayden Fry did. What Ferentz has done at Iowa over the last three years is nothing short of remarkable, and legitimizes the Big-10 as opposed to the old days of "the Big-2 and Little-8."
Between the programs that Ferentz, Tiller, and Alverez have built, along with
OSU and MI, the Big-10 has 5 perennial Top-25 teams. The only thing as surprising as how fast Iowa got good is how fast PSU and Illinois have fallen.
