Get ready for 13 hours of live coverage at Big Ten Football Media Days in 2016 Monday and Tuesday. We know not everyone will be near a TV when the event is going on, so all press conferences can be streamed via the web, smartphones, tablets and connected devices on BTN2Go.
Here’s what we’ll have on live TV Monday and Tuesday (all times ET):
Monday, 1 p.m.: Press conferences for Pat Fitzgerald (Northwestern), Darrell Hazell (Purdue), Chris Ash (Rutgers), James Franklin (Penn State), Tracy Claeys (Minnesota), and Jim Harbaugh (Michigan).
Monday, 3 p.m. – 7 p.m.: Coaches and students will visit the BTN set at Media Days for “BTN Live” with Dave Revsine, Gerry DiNardo and Howard Griffith.
Tuesday, 9 a.m.: Press conferences for Lovie Smith (Illinois), Kevin Wilson (Indiana), Mark Dantonio (Michigan State), Paul Chryst (Wisconsin), DJ Durkin (Maryland), Kirk Ferentz (Iowa) and Urban Meyer (Ohio State).
Tuesday, 11:20 a.m.: Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany speaks to the press.
Tuesday, 3 p.m. – 7 p.m.: BTN Live returns with live coverage of the coaches and their students visiting the set. Watch live online here beginning at 3 p.m..
Then on Wednesday, BTN airs a “Kickoff Luncheon Special” at 2 p.m. ET, re-airing at 7:30 p.m. ET, where each head coach will discuss the upcoming season. Wisconsin running back Dare Ogunbowale, the Badgers’ leading rusher in 2015, will speak on behalf of the players in attendance.
