Which Big Ten coaches will attend the 2023 Big Ten media day? Michigan's Jim Harbaugh, Ohio State's Ryan Day, and more

July is a huge month for media coverage around college football, and the Big Ten media day caps off the month in style. The Big Ten is scheduled to hold its media days on July 26 and 27 alongside the ACC, with the conference commissioner and head coaches taking center stage to answer questions from the media.

College football media days have rarely drawn this much attention before, but this shouldn't come as a surprise with the turnover in the game nowadays. With the transfer portal playing a factor more than ever and news about college football expansion grabbing headlines, the game feels like a house built on shifting sand.

Some of the buzz during the Big Ten media days will be directed at teams not even there. With the Big Ten bringing in USC, UCLA, and California for 2024, expect plenty of conversation about what the Big Ten will look like next year and any future expansion plans.

Let's dive into all things Big Ten media day.

What surprises can we expect from the Big Ten media day?

Surprises leak out on media days annually. We don't expect an earth-shattering announcement event of additional teams heading to the Big Ten via further college football expansion. But fans can expect rumors to ramp up during the event, but most coaches will likely not comment about it.

What the Big Ten looks like beyond 2024, including USC, UCLA, and California, is anyone's guess, and I would expect most coaches to state something to the degree of "we are focused solely on 2023."
