The 2017 Big Ten Media Days are here and it’s time to check in on the action and see what the full schedule of events looks like.

Looking to watch Monday and Tuesday’s kickoff of the 2017 Big Ten Media Days in Chicago? You can tune into the Big Ten Network or BTN2Go, but if you’re looking for the complete schedule, you’ve come to the right place.

Most fans only care to see what their coach has to say, or even a top rival, so we have for you the complete schedule of speaking events throughout the two day process.

According to Wayne Staats of Land of 10, the complete schedule for the next two days of Big Ten Media Days is as follows:

Monday, July 24

  • 12:15 p.m. ET — Mark Silverman, Big Ten Network president
  • 12:30 p.m. — Jim Delany, Big Ten Commissioner
  • 1 p.m. — Paul Chryst, Wisconsin
  • 1:15 p.m. — Tom Allen, Indiana
  • 1:30 p.m. — Lovie Smith, Illinois
  • 1:45 p.m. — Mark Dantonio, Michigan State
  • 2 p.m. — D.J. Durkin, Maryland
  • 2:15 p.m. — Kirk Ferentz, Iowa
  • 2:30 p.m. — Urban Meyer, Ohio State

Tuesday, July 25

  • 9 a.m. ET — P.J. Fleck, Minnesota
  • 9:15 a.m. — Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern
  • 9:30 a.m. — James Franklin, Penn State
  • 9:45 a.m. — Jeff Brohm, Purdue
  • 10 a.m. — Mike Riley, Nebraska
  • 10:15 a.m. — Chris Ash, Rutgers
  • 10:30 a.m. — Jim Harbaugh, Michigan
  • 10:45 a.m. — Bill Carollo, Big Ten Coordinator of Football Officials

Of course, media days has to end with Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh, but you have to believe the 15-minute intervals scheduled with each coach will be relatively lax. I’d expect the schedule to drag out a little longer than planned.

Also throughout the two-day event, three players from each program will be representing their respective teams and speaking with the media as well. The Big Ten Network should provide extensive coverage of this after each coach takes the podium.
