BREAKING NEWS: Charissa Thompson breaks ankle, not on Big Ten Network tomorrow
2009 September 25
A Big Ten source confirmed to me around 4:00 p.m. that Big Ten Network sideline queen Charissa Thompson will not be working the Northwestern vs. Minnesota game tomorrow. She reportedly broke her ankle doing step aerobics. Rebecca Haarlow will be working the game.
Rumors started swirling about what the issue was when Mike Hall (great sport about it) posted this on his Twitter page:

Maybe Charissa should have stuck to this exercise routine…
Unfortunately, there will now be zero good looking women at Ryan Field on Saturday.
