The season is rapidly approaching, and there is no bigger sign then the announcement of which players will represent the 14 school at Big Ten Media Days in Chicago. This year the event will take place on July 24-25 at the Hyatt Regency at McCormick Place in Chicago. The entire list of all 42 players who will attend was released Tuesday afternoon. The Gophers will be well represented by junior running back Rodney Smith, senior linebacker Jonathan Celestin, and senior defensive tackle Steven Richardson.
The players and coaches will begin the media gauntlet on the 24th with individual media availability.
