It's official. The Big Ten now hands out more trophies than your local Little League.
Wisconsin and Nebraska announced Monday that their annual game will now be a trophy game, as the two teams will play for the Freedom Trophy.
"The Freedom Trophy pays tribute to the brave men and women who have fought in our nation’s wars," reads an inscription on the trophy. "The University of Wisconsin’s Camp Randall Stadium, built on what was once a Civil War training ground, and the University of Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium, dedicated in honor of our nation’s veterans, stand as proud monuments to those who have sacrificed so much in the name of freedom."
The addition of the Freedom Trophy means there are now 14 trophy games in the Big Ten, though I suppose it's possible there are more, but it's getting really hard to keep track if I'm being honest.
