Bryan Banks? You might have to replace him in a year or two when the NFL takes him.

Blum is my guess.

Kole Knueppel was the R for the W. Michigan/Michigan State game last night. From the Box Score, I didn't recognize the other officials as B1G officials, but maybe this was a try out for the position?
ETA: He was a HL the last number of years in the Big 10.

Blum worked with Big Ten Officials while Banks and Knueppel worked with MAC Officials. Might signal that Blum is O'Neill's replacement.

I think the Big 10 has high hopes for Banks - if he stays in college. Maybe they know that he's going to the NFL soon and Blum is a more long-term conference solution?
Give Banks a lot of experience at white hat in the MAC so he has that on his resume to be a white hat in the NFL. Or, if the NFL isn't in the cards for Banks, he can take over a Big 10 crew when another white hat retires.
