Big Ten Media Days Schedule and Players Appearance Announced

The Big Ten has released its schedule for it’s annual Media Days in Chicago. We’ve known for awhile that it will take place at the Hilton Chicago on July 18 and 19, but now we also know the days each team will appear, and what players will be joining their head coaches for interview sessions at the event.

With fourteen teams, the conference has had to adjust over the last few years, and it has had the teams divided into two days ever since the expansion. Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Ohio Sate will appear on the Thursday (the 18th), with Iowa, Michigan, Northwestern, Penn State, Purdue, Rutgers and Wisconsin appearing on Friday (the 19th).

Each day will be a long one, running from 9 AM to 7 PM. There will be the comments by each head coach followed by sessions with players from each team afterwards.

Here’s how the breakdown of players looks organized by division — of course barring any last minute changes. All teams are bringing three players, save for Minnesota who is rowing that boat into the Windy City with four.
