The Australian Outback is the vast, remote, largely uninhabited interior of the country. It is the kind of place where one might go to drop off a body. And that is exactly what the power structure within college football and the Big Ten is looking to do by sending Indiana to the Outback Bowl. Indiana is that pest getting in the way of the corrupt folks that pull the strings, and you know what happens to the little guys that create problems? They get taken to the Outback to die.
