The 2022 Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament is upon us, as
is the launch of 19nine’s Big Ten Tournament Collection.


So, it’s a perfect time to connect with journalist and
author Ed Sherman, who authors penned the authoritative history
on the conference titled, This is Big: How the Big Ten
Set the Standard in College Sports.


The 5-pound book shares stories of the Big Ten dating back
to the league’s founding in the late final years of the 19th
century and chronicles its rise into perhaps the most
influential conference in college sports.


Ed, of course, has long maintained a close eye on the Big
Ten. Over a 27-year career with the Chicago
Tribune, he served as the newspaper’s national college
sports and Big Ten reporter, covering its universities as well
as the league’s evolution.


We’re going to dig into the conference’s hoops history with
Ed, discussing some of its principal figures and notable
moments.
