Michigan football will start fall camp for the 2024 season in less than 10 days and this week, the Michigan Wolverines will be back in Indianapolis for Big Ten Media Days.

Some people feel that media days are the unofficial start of the college football season. The Big Ten is the last major conference to hold its media days and for Michigan football, it will be the first time with Sherrone Moore as the head coach.

The Michigan Wolverines head man will be joined by star running back Donovan Edwards, as well as Makari Paige and Max Bredeson.

With 18 teams in the league, Big Ten Media Days will take place over three days starting on Tuesday. Here's the order of teams that will be meeting with the media this week in Indy.

Michigan football scheduled for Thursday

The Michigan Wolverines will meet with the media on Thursday, the final day of Big Ten Media Days. Ohio State will go on the first day, so expect Ryan Day to say something stupid like "one bad half in two years." At any rate, it's a sign that actual football is right around the corner.

The Wolverines previously announced their attendees for Big Ten Media Days but the spotlight will be on Moore. However, when I think of Big Ten Media Days, I still get chills thinking of when Jim Harbaugh took the podium and said Michigan football would "beat Ohio or die trying."

The Michigan Wolverines are 3-0 against the Buckeyes since then. Michigan has also won three Big Ten championships and a national title.

Should Michigan football be worried about a flip?

In case you missed it, the Michigan Wolverines are in danger of losing a recent commitment -- Phillip Wright -- to LSU. The three-star wideout committed to Michigan football on July 13th.

However, he's from Louisiana and the Tigers have started to make him more of a priority. There's even a report that a visit to LSU this weekend is possible for Wright and if that happens, Michigan football fans should be officially worried about his commitment.
