Big Ten football: Most coaches say they won’t pursue Penn State players

The issue hummed through the Hyatt McCormick Place complex in Chicago on Thursday when Big Ten Conference football coaches gathered to share their thoughts heading into the 2012 season. University of Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer were on the same front, saying they wouldn?t reach out to Penn State players. Bielema kicked off the two-day event by saying he wasn?t comfortable inquiring about Penn State players and his motives are based on the “genuine respect for everybody in our league that you are a Big Ten brother.”
