Full 2015 Big Ten Media Days team schedule and how to watch

There's a lot to watch in Chicago this week.

By Kevin Trahan

It's the unofficial start of the Big Ten football season on Thursday as Big Ten Media Days kick off at McCormick Place in Chicago. The two-day event will include coach interviews and one-on-one interviews with coaches and players.

There are sure to be a number of attractions. Urban Meyer and the Ohio State players will be popular after winning the national championship, and particularly with a high-profile quarterback battle likely to ensue.

There are also three new coaches who will make waves. Michigan's Jim Harbaugh will be the most popular, but Wisconsin's Paul Chryst and Nebraska's Mike Riley arrive from other major-conference programs, and are expected to contend in the Big Ten West.

How to watch, all times ET

TV: BTN (1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. Friday), ESPNU (1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday and Fridays)
