The Big Ten Conference has been undergoing some massive shakeups with coaching hires and leadership changes, thereby spicing things up in spring practices. As teams prepare for the new season, there are some lingering questions about passing attacks or defense such as those facing Illinois and Indiana.

One team that stands out this season is Wisconsin. They’re making a significant philosophical change in their offensive strategy with a new coaching staff. This could create excitement among fans for the upcoming football season.

Big Ten Basketball Offseason Transfer Tracker
In this year’s NCAA Tournament, none of the nine Big Ten conference teams made it past the Sweet 16. The offseason means an influx of movement in and out of the transfer portal within the coming days and weeks. Already, most coaching staffs are active on the transfer recruiting trail in hopes of reloading for the next season.
Since most Big Ten teams will need to cast a wide net to fill roster spots and add immediate impact, Purdue, Michigan, and Wisconsin are expected to return a majority of their key players.
