Recruiting/Player Development Data for the Big Ten Conference

Author's note: I owe a giant thank you to Hey Joe! poster '89 Chemistry, who helped out with a large chunk of the player data for a handful of these teams. It was a big help, even if it took me forever and a half to actually utilize his contribution and finish the other teams.


So basically, this is data relevant to a post I've been working on that I want to make public but is way, way, too long to drop in the middle of a post and be able to reasonably expect some readers to make it from the text above all these tables to the text after them without getting bored or impatient. So instead of people skipping over this stuff, or being disconnected from the more specific analysis of that article, I'm sticking this here, and people who want to look at it can, and people who don't want to, don't have to cross this veritable Sahara desert of tabled data to get to the rest of the conclusions.

No Nebraska's were included in this study. Sorry dudez.

Like I said, I'll have something cool based off these findings soon. Thanks.

*Seriously, like, so many tables after the jump*
