LOOK: Did CBS intentionally troll the B1G?
Published:
Purposeful shot or hilarious accident? Either way, CBS Sports received plenty of attention on social media for a graphic that appears to be trolling the B1G.
During the show “Inside College Football,” analysts began discussing their thoughts on the B1G heading into the season. On Monday, four teams were listed in the top 11 spots on the Associated Press top 25 poll. While the conversations and discussions were interesting, there was something in the background that caught everyone’s attention.
Let’s see if you can spot the problem (hint: look at the top row):

In case you don’t see it, CBS used – or unintentionally placed – the logos for Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Purdue in a row. Since the logos for each of those teams is the first letter of the university name, it spells out “WIMP.”
Whether you’re a fan of the B1G or not, that’s pretty funny.
It’s unknown whether the graphic was intentional or not, but CBS should play it off as though it was purposeful, even if it does ruffle a few feathers.
