Chris is right, Minnesota coach Doug Woog has arranged for a "Big Ten"
tournament to be held next Thanksgiving (in Joe Louis Arena, I believe,
but I'm too lazy to look it up).  Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and
Michigan State will participate.  The plan is to rotate which team
sits out, so it's Ohio State's turn the first year.
