How to Watch USC Trojans, Lincoln Riley at Big Ten Media Days

The Big Ten will host its annual Media Days starting Tuesday, July 28, in Chicago, Illinois, ahead of the 2026 college football season. The event is especially notable for USC, where coach Lincoln Riley enters his fifth season in Southern California with intense pressure to reach the College Football Playoff. USC returns the most starters in FBS and is led by quarterback Jayden Maiava, while Riley added Hall of Fame coach Gary Patterson as defensive coordinator to address defensive issues. USC’s media coverage will include Riley’s press conference around 10:45 a.m. PT on the Big Ten Network. Joining him will be Maiava, defensive tackle Jide Abasiri, and Michigan State transfer Alex VanSumeren.
