Players including Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller and others from every team will go Thursday. Star Buckeyes cornerback Bradley Roby will not attend. No players are available Wednesday, and the only player who will speak from the podium is Penn State guard John Urschel, who will speak at the Big Ten Kickoff Luncheon on Thursday afternoon.
