Big Ten not talking about the future of the Suzy Favor Hamilton Award
Three-time Olympian Suzy Favor Hamilton posted her confession on Twitter on Thursday that she worked as an escort in Las Vegas. The Big Ten has not made any comment about the future of the Suzy Favor Hamilton Athlete of the Year Award.
Hamilton is a nine-time NCAA champion and won 23 conference titles while attending the University of Wisconsin. A spokesman for the Big Ten had no comment on the award, and neither did a spokesman from Hamilton’s alma mater.

Gives a new meaning to the maiden name "Favor"...
cant you see the stretch marks around her mouth ?
They can keep the award. Just drop the "Favor" part. I'm not sure they have cheerleaders under 200 lbs at Wisconsin but give the award to the annual hotdog eating contest winner at Cheeburger Cheeburger?
I wish I'd have known when I was in Las Vegas. She would've been the perfect end to a great week!
