Does anyone know of any big ten message boards that are free boards ?
yes, but you'll have to pass stringent requirements before you post there. Very sensitive group.
My favorite is the one at College Football News. It's not as active as here, but it's a great board. It's officially part of Scout now, but still really remains pretty seperate.

Yeah, here's one (the one the thread was moved to).
This is a BIG EAST board.
