This season marks the 10-year anniversary of the 2002 National Champion Buckeye football team and plans have been in place to honor the team this year on campus. The Big Ten Network will be putting the 2002 team in focus in a new show, Big Ten Elite, that will debut on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. (EDT).
