TODAY Network
As part of the agreement, syndicated content from across USA
TODAY Network’s local network of more than 200 publications will be
featured on BigTen.org. This includes content from The Columbus
Dispatch, The Des Moines Register, Detroit Free Press and The
Indianapolis Star among several others.
USA TODAY will also continue to produce souvenir covers to
commemorate the winners of the Big Ten Championship Games in
football and men’s and women’s basketball. These covers are
presented to athletes on the field or court after the final
whistle. This tradition began last year with the Big Ten Football
Championship Game and continued this year with the “A-MAIZE-ING”
headline celebrating Michigan’s win in the conference title
game.
“We are proud to be a content partner of the Big Ten
conference,” said Nate Scott, Vice President and Publisher, USA
TODAY Sports Media Group. “The USA TODAY Network’s local footprint
is uniquely positioned across key college markets and dedicated to
amplifying the importance of recognizing these sports.”
The USA TODAY Network will also produce and publish the Big Ten
Conference’s official championship game day programs for football,
as well as men’s and women’s basketball.
“The USA Today Network’s talented writers cover so many Big Ten
stories, programs, and student-athletes,” said Tyler Kupper, Big
Ten Vice President of Corporate Partnerships. “Gannett will make
for a great partner to the Big Ten Conference, Big Ten Network and
coverage of our championship events.”
