ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Big Ten Conference will continue to raise the bar as the premier volleyball conference in the country when it plays host to the second annual Big Ten Volleyball Media Days August 1-2, 2023, at Big Ten Network studios in Chicago. Last summer, the Big Ten became the first collegiate conference to host an in-person preseason volleyball media event, providing yet another example of the Big Ten's commitment to elevating women's sports.
2022 First Team All-Big Ten selections Taylor Landfair (RJr., Outside, Plainfield, Ill.) and Melani Shaffmaster (Sr., Setter, New Castle, Ind.) will represent the Golden Gophers this summer at the Big Ten headquarters.
Seven Big Ten Conference volleyball programs (Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State and Purdue) will arrive at the Big Ten Network on Tuesday, Aug. 1 for a series of interview sessions and other creative content opportunities to preview the 2023 volleyball season. The remaining seven Big Ten Conference programs (Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Penn State, Rutgers and Wisconsin) will go through a similar schedule at Big Ten Network on Wednesday, Aug. 2.
Along with their media schedules, student-athletes, and coaches from all 14 Big Ten Conference volleyball programs will gather on the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 1, for an exclusive dinner and reception, celebrating the success and future promise of Big Ten volleyball.
The Big Ten Conference had six schools earn berths into last year's NCAA Tournament and led the nation with five schools receiving top-16 seeds. At least one Big Ten program has advanced to the NCAA national semifinals in 15 of the past 16 seasons, reaching the title match 12 times and winning nine national championships since 2007.
Along with all 14 Big Ten Conference head coaches (including new arrivals Erin Virtue of Michigan and Keegan Cook of Minnesota), the complete list of student-athletes from each school who are expected to attend the 2023 Big Ten Volleyball Media Days is listed below, while additional information on media coverage for the event will be forthcoming.
