Big Ten Media Days are set commence this week, putting a bow on college football’s talking season as the league’s 18 teams descend upon Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, to discuss the upcoming season and all the change it brings.
Though Ohio State has dominated a lot of preseason talk, the Big Ten’s newcomers will take center stage during their first major media appearance as members of the conference. Representatives from Oregon, Washington, USC and UCLA will outline expectations and provide a lookahead for their inaugural seasons.
Elsewhere, Michigan will field plenty of questions as it sets forth without coach Jim Harbaugh, who left for the NFL after leading the Wolverines to a 15-0 season capped by their first national title since the BCS era began. New coach and former offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore will replace him at the podium and on the sidelines.
He’s not the only new face taking over a Big Ten program this fall. Michigan State’s Jonathan Smith, UCLA’s DeShaun Foster and Indiana’s Curt Cignetti are entering their first season at Big Ten schools, while Northwestern’s David Braun faces his first media days slate as a full-time coach.
Below is the full list of participants who will make the rounds beginning on Tuesday, and be sure to scroll below the schedule for in-depth coverage from 2024 Big Ten Media Days. All times below Eastern.
