Hugs and Drugs: Tuesday in the Big Ten

Tuesday was perhaps a good day if you were in Indiana, but if you were in Iowa it could be a bad one.

Indiana Finds Their Man

Starting with the good news for Indiana the hunt for their next football coach is over. Just two weeks following the firing of Bill Lynch the Hoosiers have found their man. Naming Kevin Wilson officially as their next head coach.

One thing the Hoosiers have needed in a coach without question is someone who knows how to win, and win big. Wilson is obviously one of those people having been with Bob Stoops in Oklahoma. Meaning Wilson has been to the biggest stages in college football. Whether that means conference championships, BCS games, or a BCS national championship.

Wilson is more familiar with the conference championship recently with Oklahoma just beating Nebraska on Saturday. When asked about now being back in the same conference as the Cornhuskers Wilson won't see them for two years because of Indiana's schedule. That is unless he gets to see them in the conference championship. Don't count on that if you ask Wilson though.

"We could play them in the conference championship game if they're good enough to win their division," said Wilson.

DJK Behind Bars

The bad news for the Iowa Hawkeyes that is coming out today could be a giant stain on what is considered a good program. Especially with the departure of all-time leading wide receiver Derrell Johnson-Koulianos was arrested on drugs charges.

On Tuesday afternoon Iowa City police obtained a warrant to search Johnson-Koulianos' residence for drugs with the suspicion that his roommate was a dealer. What they found is that it wasn't just his roommate with drugs. It was Johnson-Koulianos' as well.

In Johnson-Koulianos' apartment the police discovered marijuana, cocaine, and prescription medicine that all belonged to the Iowa wide receiver. As well as electronic media that showed Johnson-Koulianos in possession of the drugs.

After being taken into custody Johnson-Koulianos was given a urine test to see if drugs were in his blood stream. The tests came up positive for drugs, and Johnson-Koulianos admitted to smoking weed within 24 hours of being arrested.

Now Iowa will be without their star receiver for their bowl game against Missouri. A receiver who set Iowa records for receptions, and yards this season.. This comes after Iowa head coach suspended the senior from team activities. Including a trip to the bowl game.
