The Big Ten Conference is one step closer to the start of the 2025 college football season. On Thursday, the league revealed the podium times and coverage schedule for Big Ten Football Media Days, scheduled for Tuesday, July 22-Thursday, July 24.
This year's event is set to take place in the heart of Big Ten country — Las Vegas. OK, so maybe Sin City isn't exactly the center of the Midwest, but it's where the conference is heading for this year's kickoff event. Media Days are set to take place at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
Big Ten Network's coverage will begin on Tuesday, July 22 at 2 p.m. ET, with Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti scheduled to speak to open the event. Each day will feature six coaches from across the conference at the podium.
