Ed Sherman | Press Row | Big Ten Historian | The Big Ten Set the Standard in College Sports
- 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.
