According to this story, the Big Ten and Motor City Bowl signed a deal for four years to send the No. 7 team to Detroit.

I thought a deal was in place already, although I didn't think the Big Ten was locked down four years.

Sounds like good news -- if it is news:

Yes, my recollection of the original announcement was that it was multi-year........well, maybe it was a verbal deal until they had the official "ratification ceremony".

Now we need Purdue to win 2 more games!!

An analysis by the Detroit Free Press on the chances a Big Ten team may play:

Apparently they had some kind of media event.
