#B1GMediaDay - Twitter - All Access

We're doing Big Ten media days bigger and better than ever before.

[ MORE: Which players are attending media days? See here! ]

BTN/BTN2Go will provide more than 13 hours of live coverage, more than double last year?s total, at the 2015 Big Ten Football Media Days and Kickoff Luncheon, presented by Allstate and BMW, Thursday and Friday at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place in Chicago.

The coverage includes press conferences of all 14 Big Ten head football coaches, as well as remarks from Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany. We'll also air four-hour long editions of BTN Live (@BTNLive), from 3-7 p.m. ET, on both days.
