I wondered where Tom had gone, as someone else has taken over his
weekly 'awards' list on Rivals.

I don't see this as significant, except that it shows that the Big Ten
Conference doesn't try to influence the opinion pieces written by the
BTN staff.  (I doubt Tom D would stay there if they did.)

Given the Big Ten's record on academic freedom and tolerance, I would have been
surprised if they had tried to suppress that piece.
