There's no such thing as too much awareness about cancer, and that's one of the many great things about the annual Coaches vs. Cancer week.
Every winter, for those who don't know, college basketball coaching staffs across America trade in their dress shoes for sneakers for a weekend.
That weekend was this one.
And, as they always do, all of the Big Ten coaching staffs participated, with 13 of them donning sneakers with their suits, and Indiana opting for its usual more casual look.
See how each Big Ten participated in Coaches vs. Cancer below.
