Big Ten Football: Have a Question? I Have the Answer(s)
July 16, 2009
For the second year in a row, Bleacher Report will be represented at the Big Ten Media Days in Chicago.
Last year brought big names like James Laurinaitis, Malcolm Jenkins, Tyrell Sutton, Juice Williams, Javon Ringer, and Derrick Williams.
The 2009 lineup is just as impressive, with stars Arrelious Benn, Eric Decker, Corey Wootton, and Daryll Clark all ready to be peppered about why their school will take home the Big Ten title.
Instead of writing a bunch of stories that all the other websites will have posted once the two-day event is completed, I decided to let your voice be heard. Yes, I'm talking to YOU.
Got a question you want answered but are faced with the fact you simply don't have the access? That's where I come in. Below is the full list of names each school is sending to Media Days. In the comment section of this article, feel free to list as many questions as you want me to ask the players about the biggest issues each team is facing this season, and I will do my best to get them all answered.
Remember, by keeping your questions open-ended, as well as respectful, you will be guaranteed to have them answered.
Media Days begin Monday, July 20 and goes until Tuesday, July 21. The second day is always the best time for the players to be held accountable, so any questions that are posted below by Monday night will be considered fair game.
Thanks for your input, and get ready for what looks to be an amazing 2009 Big Ten season.
Each head coach will be in attendance and open for questions as well.
