Here's who's coming to Chicago for Big Ten media days

Big Ten Media Days provides the launching point toward the football season and college sports year. So when the league announces who will attend the two-day session in Chicago, it attracts attention.

Iowa, which won the Big Ten West Division crown in 2015, will bring All-American cornerback Desmond King, quarterback C.J. Beathard and linebacker Josey Jewell to the event on July 25-26 at Hyatt Regency McCormick Place. It's interesting that Jewell will attend considering he is a junior. Iowa generally only brings seniors.

For non-media types, the luncheon on July 26 luncheon is the higlight. Autograph sessions begin at 10 a.m. with the luncheon starting at 11:30 a.m. Tickets cost $110 per seat or $1,100 per table (10 seats). Call Davon Robb at the Big Ten office at 847-696-1010, ext. 163, or email drobb@bigten.org for information.
